EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 3: Ancient mausoleum erected for the ashes of a Roman emperor" takes us back in time to ancient Rome. The image is part of the series "Part one of architecture and perspectives" by renowned Venetian architect Giovanni Battista Piranesi, dedicated to Nicola Giobbe. The photograph showcases an impressive mausoleum, built centuries ago as a final resting place for a Roman emperor. Its grandeur and architectural beauty are evident in every detail captured by Piranesi's skilled hand. The etching technique used adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its historical significance. In the foreground, we see several men standing near the entrance of this magnificent structure. Their presence gives us a sense of scale, emphasizing just how imposing and awe-inspiring this mausoleum truly is. Behind them, a majestic portico with intricate columns leads into the burial chamber. Piranesi's meticulous attention to detail transports us back to ancient Rome, allowing us to imagine what life was like during that era. This photograph serves as both a testament to human ingenuity in architecture and a reminder of our mortality. Displayed against a plain white background, this print exudes elegance while highlighting the stark contrast between light and shadow. It is not only an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable historical document that preserves the legacy of ancient Roman civilization for generations to come.
