EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Porta Ostiense" takes us back in time to the Late Antique Period in Rome. The image showcases the magnificent Porta Ostiense, a city gate that stood as a testament to Roman art and Europe's ancient civilization. Taken between 1910-1930, this photograph captures the essence of an era long gone. The grandeur of the architecture is evident as we see the towering gate adorned with intricate building elements and decorative sections. Its crenelations stand tall, reminding us of its military and defensive purpose. In front of this architectural marvel stands a horse-drawn coach, symbolizing transportation during that period. It evokes scenes from bygone days when people traveled by land, relying on such carriages for their journeys. The presence of a cart wheelbarrow further emphasizes the importance of these modes of transportation in daily life. Amidst all this historical splendor, nature finds its place too. A solitary tree stands nearby, adding a touch of greenery amidst stone structures. This juxtaposition reminds us that even within bustling cities like Rome, pockets of natural beauty can be found. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is Alinari Fratelli from Alinari - renowned for capturing timeless moments through their lens. Their expertise shines through as they skillfully capture every detail and bring history alive through their photographs. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder not only of our rich past but also how far we have come since then. It sparks curiosity about those who once walked through these gates and ignites our imagination about life during that era – an enchanting glimpse into ancient Rome's vibrant civilization.
