EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled " (2) [Persepolis], 1840s-60s" takes us back in time to the ancient city of Persepolis. Created by Luigi Pesce, an Italian photographer from the 19th century, this albumen silver print showcases the archaeological site's grandeur and historical significance. The image captures a mesmerizing landscape filled with ruins and pillars that once stood tall as symbols of power during the Achaemenid Empire. Persepolis, located in Fars province, Iran, was a thriving city known for its architectural marvels and rich Persian heritage. Luigi Pesce's skillful composition transports us to this distant era when Persia flourished under Assyrian influence. The monochromatic tones add depth and evoke a sense of mystery surrounding these ancient structures. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph serves as a testament to both the artistic prowess of Luigi Pesce and the enduring legacy of Persepolis. It invites viewers to contemplate the passage of time while appreciating the beauty found within archaeological treasures. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded that history is not confined to textbooks but can be experienced through visual art like photography. Luigi Pesce's work allows us to connect with our past by capturing moments frozen in time at one of humanity's most significant cultural sites.
