EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of ancient civilization in Italy's Apulia region. The Roman amphitheater of Augustan age, located in Lucera, stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural brilliance of this era. Dating back to the 1st century BC, this magnificent structure showcases impeccable symmetry and grandeur. The image portrays a picturesque scene with a towering wall that encloses the amphitheater, creating an atmosphere of awe and wonder. A solitary tree gracefully stands nearby, adding a touch of natural beauty to the historical site. The horizontal composition allows for an elevated view that highlights both the building exterior and its surrounding landscape. As we gaze upon this photograph, our minds are transported back in time to when ancient Rome reigned supreme. The steps leading up to the amphitheater evoke images of gladiators preparing for battle while spectators eagerly awaited thrilling performances within its walls. This non-urban scene reminds us of how nature has seamlessly intertwined with human-made structures throughout history. With no people present, we can fully appreciate the tranquility and serenity that now envelops this once bustling arena. The diminishing perspective emphasizes the vastness of time that separates us from those who once walked these grounds. It serves as a poignant reminder that even though empires rise and fall, their remnants endure as reminders of our collective past. In summary, this mesmerizing print encapsulates not only Italy's architectural prowess but also invites contemplation on humanity's enduring fascination with its own history.
