EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled " (10) [Gate of all Nations, Persepolis, Fars], 1840s-60s" takes us on a journey back in time to the ancient city of Persepolis in Fars, Iran. The creator behind this remarkable piece is Luigi Pesce, an Italian photographer from the 19th century. The image showcases the majestic "Gate of all Nations" also known as the "Gate of Xerxes". This monumental entrance served as a symbol of power and authority during the Achaemenid Empire. Its grandeur is beautifully captured through Pesce's lens. As we gaze upon this archaeological site, we are transported to a bygone era filled with history and wonder. The ruins stand tall against the landscape, revealing intricate sculptures that once adorned these magnificent structures. Pesce's albumen silver print technique adds depth and texture to every detail within this photograph. It allows us to appreciate both the artistry and craftsmanship that went into constructing such architectural marvels centuries ago. Today, this stunning artwork resides within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), where it serves as a testament to our shared heritage. Luigi Pesce's skillful photography immortalizes not only Persepolis but also highlights his own artistic prowess. Through this powerful image, we are reminded of Persia's rich cultural legacy and its enduring impact on our world today.
