EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grandeur of Porta Angelica, a magnificent city gate that once stood proudly in Rome. Unfortunately, this architectural marvel met its demise in 1888, leaving behind only memories and photographs like this one. Porta Angelica was an embodiment of late Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles, showcasing the artistic mastery of Europe during the first and second millenniums. Its construction dates back to 1559-1565 when it served as a gateway for both military defense and civilian passage. In this image captured between 1880-1888 by Roesler Franz Ettore, we witness not just the architectural beauty but also a glimpse into daily life within its walls. A majestic horse stands at attention near the entrance, reminding us of the bustling activity that once took place here. The gateway itself is adorned with intricate details that reflect the opulence of its time. The walls exude strength and resilience while offering protection to those who passed through them. Beyond lies a street scene bustling with people going about their day – a snapshot frozen in history forever. As we admire this photograph, let us appreciate not just the skillful composition but also ponder upon how cities evolve over time. Porta Angelica may no longer physically stand today, but it lives on through images like these – preserving its legacy for future generations to admire.
