EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Giorgio Sommer (Italian, born Germany 1824 - 1872), Impronte umane (Pompeii), 1873" captures the essence of a bygone era. Taken in 1873 by Italian-German photographer Giorgio Sommer, this albumen print showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The image transports us to the ancient city of Pompeii, frozen in time after being buried under volcanic ash for centuries. Sommer's lens focuses on a series of human footprints imprinted on the ground, revealing a poignant glimpse into the lives that once thrived within these walls. Through careful composition and lighting techniques, Sommer brings these imprints to life. The play of light and shadow accentuates every curve and contour left behind by those who walked these streets long ago. Each footprint tells its own story – perhaps it belonged to a Roman citizen going about their daily routine or an adventurer exploring this vibrant city. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the impermanence of human existence and how nature can reclaim even our most cherished creations. Quint Lox has masterfully captured this profound moment in history through his reproduction of Sommer's work from the Liszt Collection. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document that allows us to reflect on our own place in time while marveling at the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
