EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "L'antica porta d'ingresso a Persepolis" (The ancient entrance gate of Persepolis), takes us back to the 19th century. Created by Luigi Pesce, an Italian photographer, this image showcases the remarkable archaeological site of Persepolis in Fars, Iran. The photograph captures the grandeur and majesty of the Gate of All Nations, also known as the Gate of Xerxes. This monumental entrance served as a symbol of power for the Achaemenid Empire during ancient times. The intricate sculptures adorning its walls depict various nations under Persian rule. Pesce's skillful use of photography enhances our perception of timelessness and adds depth to this historical scene. The salted paper print technique from a paper negative further enriches the texture and details captured in this artwork. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a distant era when Persia was at its zenith. We can almost imagine ourselves standing before this magnificent gateway that once welcomed visitors from all corners of the empire. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, Luigi Pesce's photograph serves as a testament to both his artistic prowess and his dedication to documenting cultural heritage through his lens. It allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also highlights how art can transcend time by capturing moments frozen forever in history.
