EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Brogi, we are transported back in time to the early 20th century. The image showcases an elderly man seated on a weathered park bench, positioned near the magnificent statue of Bes of the Magical Alchemical Gate in Vittorio Emanuele II square, Rome. The photograph exudes a sense of tranquility as we observe the old man immersed in his own thoughts. His face tells tales of wisdom and experience, etched with lines that speak volumes about a life well-lived. Dressed impeccably in a stylish hat and overcoat, he embodies both elegance and grace. As our gaze shifts towards the background, we are drawn to the impressive statue standing tall behind him. The sculpture represents Bes - an ancient Egyptian deity associated with magic and alchemy. Its intricate details showcase masterful craftsmanship while adding an air of mystique to the scene. Surrounded by elements of nature such as rocks and trees, this serene park bench becomes more than just a place to rest; it transforms into a sanctuary where one can reflect upon life's journey. The juxtaposition between human existence and architectural marvels is striking - reminding us that even amidst grandeur, moments of solitude hold their own significance. Brogi's skillful composition captures not only physical attributes but also delves into deeper emotional layers. This timeless photograph serves as a poignant reminder that age does not diminish one's capacity for introspection or appreciation for beauty around them. This remarkable piece from Alinari invites us to contemplate our own lives within historical context – urging us to cherish every moment spent on our personal benches amidst grand landscapes like Vittorio Emanuele II square.
