EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 21: Temple of Pola in Istria (Tempio di Pola in Istria), ca. 1748" takes us back to the ancient Roman era. The image showcases the magnificent Temple of Augustus located in Pula, Croatia. Built as a tribute to the revered first Roman emperor, Augustus Caesar, this architectural marvel stands tall against a backdrop of overgrown vegetation. Giovanni Battista Piranesi's etching beautifully captures the essence of this eighteenth-century heritage site. The panoramic view allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of the temple and its surrounding landscape. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported through time, imagining what life might have been like during ancient Rome. The presence of background people adds depth and scale to the scene while emphasizing how integral this temple was to religious practices at that time. This series by Piranesi celebrates Italy's rich cultural history and serves as a testament to his artistic prowess. Displayed within museums worldwide, including The Met, Plate 21 evokes a sense of awe and wonderment for those who encounter it. It is an enduring reminder that even centuries later, these remnants from antiquity continue to inspire admiration for their beauty and historical significance.
