EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View of Decumanus Maximus" takes us back in time to the ancient city of Herculaneum in Italy. The image captures a glimpse of the bustling Decumanus maximus, a major road that served as the backbone of this Roman settlement from the 5th century BC to the 1st century AD. The photographer, Luisa Ricciarini, skillfully frames this archaeological site with an artistic eye. The composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and decay present in this historical location. We can see remnants of buildings lining either side of the road, hinting at their former glory while also showcasing their current state of ruin. As we gaze upon this photograph, our imagination transports us to a bygone era when Herculaneum was thriving under Roman rule. We envision merchants hawking their wares along these very streets and citizens going about their daily lives amidst impressive architecture. The timeless quality captured by Ricciarini's lens reminds us not only of the rich history embedded within these ruins but also serves as a poignant reminder that all things eventually succumb to time's relentless passage. This evocative image invites contemplation on themes such as transience, preservation, and our connection to past civilizations. Overall, "View of Decumanus Maximus" is a testament to both Ricciarini's photographic talent and her ability to transport viewers through time with just one frame.
