EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Trajan's Forum" by the renowned artist Brogi, takes us back in time to ancient Rome. The image showcases the magnificent Trajan's Column at the heart of the picture, topped with a statue of St. Peter. Standing tall and proud, it serves as a symbol of both military might and religious devotion. In the background, we are treated to a breathtaking view of two churches - Santa Maria di Loreto and Santissimo Nome di Maria. These architectural marvels add an ethereal touch to the scene, their grandeur contrasting against the ancient ruins that surround them. The photograph was taken between 1870-1880 but captures an artwork dating all the way back to 113 AD. Created by none other than Master of the Works of Trajan himself, this masterpiece has stood the test of time and continues to awe spectators even centuries later. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in history, our minds wander through Roman streets bustling with soldiers adorned in arms and armor. We can almost hear echoes from battles fought on these very grounds – a reminder of Rome's military prowess. Yet amidst this depiction of armed forces and military life lies St. Peter atop Trajan's Column; his presence represents faith amid chaos, reminding us that even in times dominated by war and conquests, religion played an integral role in people's lives. Brogi skillfully captures not just a physical landscape but also emotions evoked by this iconic site within Rome's Foro di Traiano. This print is more than just art; it is a portal into history itself – allowing us to witness moments frozen forever while igniting our imagination about life during those distant times.
