EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient city of Rome, where history and art intertwine. The image showcases a mesmerizing sight within the cloister of the Basilica of S. Giovanni in Laterano – columns and inscriptions found in Roman ruins, carefully preserved along the walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are reminded of the rich architectural heritage that Rome possesses. The columns stand tall and proud, their weathered surfaces telling tales of centuries gone by. Each one is adorned with intricate carvings and details, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of ancient Roman artisans. The inscriptions etched into these stone relics serve as a window into the past – they were once instruments of communication for an ancient civilization. They tell stories, convey messages, or perhaps even mark significant events or individuals from long ago. It is awe-inspiring to witness how these fragments from antiquity have been meticulously integrated into the structure of this sacred basilica's cloister. This harmonious blend between old and new creates a unique atmosphere that speaks volumes about Rome's reverence for its past. Photographed around 1890, this artwork captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and archeological exploration. It reminds us that through careful excavation and preservation efforts like those seen here at S. Giovanni in Laterano, we can continue to uncover hidden treasures from our collective history. In conclusion, Anderson's photograph invites us on a visual journey through time – allowing us to marvel at both the beauty of Roman architecture and our ongoing fascination with unraveling secrets buried beneath layers upon layers of history.
