EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent entrance arch to the Stadium of Olympia, a remarkable work of Roman art. The arch stands tall and proud, serving as a testament to the grandeur of ancient civilizations in Greece. Its intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship are evident even in this black-and-white photograph taken around 1920-30. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to the fourth century BC when this architectural marvel was created. The arch's imposing presence dominates the frame, drawing our attention with its sheer size and commanding structure. It serves as a gateway into an era long gone, inviting us to explore the wonders that lie beyond. The surrounding landscape adds depth and context to the scene. We see remnants of ruins scattered across the ground—a reminder of past glory now reduced to fragments. A solitary tree stands nearby, its branches reaching towards the heavens as if trying to touch history itself. Vegetation peeks through cracks in stone walls, symbolizing nature's resilience amidst human creations. This photograph captures not only an archaeological site but also evokes a sense of awe for ancient civilizations that once thrived here. It reminds us of their achievements in art, architecture, and culture—contributions that continue to inspire generations centuries later. Alinari Fratelli has expertly captured this moment frozen in time—an exquisite blend of natural beauty and man-made wonderment. Through their lens, they have immortalized this iconic piece of Roman artistry for all admirers of history and archeology alike.
