EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient city of Persepolis. Taken in 1858 by Luigi Pesce, an Italian photographer, it showcases the majestic Porta d'entrata alla ruine de Persepolis (Entrance Gate to the Ruins of Persepolis). The image captures the grandeur and architectural brilliance of this Achaemenid archaeological site located in Fars, Iran. The imposing gate stands as a testament to the once mighty Persian Empire that ruled over these lands centuries ago. Pesce's mastery of photography is evident in this salted paper print from a paper negative. The monochromatic tones add depth and texture to every intricate detail, enhancing our appreciation for both artistry and archaeology. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported into a landscape frozen in time. We can almost feel the weight of history within its ruins – remnants of an empire that shaped civilizations and influenced cultures throughout centuries. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece allows us to explore Persia's rich heritage through Luigi Pesce's lens. It serves as a reminder that even amidst decay and ruin, there lies beauty worth preserving for generations to come.
