EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Arco Felice, ancient Gate on the road from Cumae to Pozzuoli" transports us back in time to the rich history of Italy's Pozzuoli environs. Taken between 1879 and 1910 by Brogi, a renowned photographer of his era, this image captures the essence of archeology and discovery. The focal point of the photograph is Arco Felice, an ancient gateway that once stood proudly along the road connecting Cumae to Pozzuoli. Its weathered stone arches tell tales of centuries gone by, whispering secrets only known to those who dare explore its ruins. This gate serves as a tangible link between modernity and antiquity, reminding us of our connection to past civilizations. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, our eyes are drawn not only to Arco Felice but also to the surrounding landscape. The remnants of other structures can be seen in the distance – monuments and complexes that have withstood the test of time. These silent witnesses bear witness to countless stories waiting patiently beneath their crumbling surfaces. Brogi's expert composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and fragility inherent in these archaeological sites. His masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and texture while highlighting intricate details etched into every stone block. In this evocative print from Alinari's collection, we are transported across centuries as we contemplate humanity's relentless quest for knowledge through excavation and exploration. It serves as a reminder that even amidst decay lies beauty; even within ruins lie stories waiting eagerly for rediscovery.
