EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1850s, showcasing the iconic Colosseum in Rome. The creator of this masterpiece is none other than George Wilson Bridges, a renowned photographer of the 19th century. With his skilled eye for detail, Bridges captures the grandeur and architectural marvel of this ancient amphitheatre. The image reveals a cutaway view of the Colosseum's interior, allowing us to glimpse into its rich history. We are transported inside this magnificent structure, where centuries ago gladiators fought valiantly for their lives amidst roaring crowds. The ruins speak volumes about the passage of time and evoke a sense of awe at what once was. Bridges' use of salted paper print from paper negative adds an ethereal quality to the photograph, enhancing its Victorian charm. As we gaze upon this artwork displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates not only Rome's heritage but also photography as an art form. This piece serves as a testament to Bridges' talent in capturing historical landmarks with such precision that they become timeless treasures. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in Roman history and imagine what life must have been like during those ancient times. As we admire this stunning portrayal by George Wilson Bridges, let us be reminded that through art and photography, we can connect with our past and preserve it for future generations to cherish.
