EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking view of Maison Carrée, a Roman temple located in Nimes, France. Built during the Augustan age around 19 BC, this architectural masterpiece is believed to have been dedicated to Lucius and Caius, sons of Agrippa. The Maison Carrée has stood the test of time and since 1961 it has served as a lapidary museum. The image showcases the grandeur of this ancient structure with its hexastyle portico adorned with Corinthian columns. The steps leading up to the temple create an aura of majesty while highlighting its significance as a place of worship. The colonnade surrounding the building adds an element of elegance and symmetry to its design. Every detail in this photograph speaks volumes about the rich history and exceptional craftsmanship that went into creating such an iconic monument. From the stylobate supporting the columns to the intricate frieze decorating its entablature, every aspect demonstrates Roman architectural brilliance. The imposing tympanum at the top completes this stunning composition, showcasing both beauty and power in one frame. This pseudoperipteral temple stands tall against a clear blue sky, inviting viewers to admire its timeless splendor. As you gaze upon this remarkable print by Bridgeman Images, you can't help but be transported back in time to witness firsthand one of Provence's most treasured landmarks – Maison Carrée – where history comes alive through extraordinary architecture.
