EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning Santa Costanza, also known as the Temple of Bacchus. The etching with brown wash, created by Agostino Tofanelli in 1833 and engraved by Pietro Fontana, takes us on a journey through time to ancient Rome. Built before 354 AD as a mausoleum for Constantia and Helena, the daughters of Emperor Constantine I, this architectural marvel exudes grandeur and elegance. Its circular design features an ambulatory adorned with pairs of columns, leading to a magnificent dome supported by Corinthian pillars. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel the sacredness that permeates its interior. The photograph captures a moment of reverence within the temple's walls. Two figures are seen kneeling in prayer at an altar placed in the center of the annular space. The play of light from clerestory windows above creates an ethereal atmosphere that adds to the spiritual aura surrounding them. Santa Costanza holds immense historical significance as it was consecrated as a church in 1254 due to Constantina being venerated as a saint. This fusion of religious devotion and architectural splendor is truly awe-inspiring. Through this photo print, we are transported back to ancient Rome's glory days when emperors ruled and antiquity thrived. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich cultural heritage but also of humanity's eternal quest for spirituality and connection with something greater than ourselves.
