EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient city of Rome. The image showcases the ruins of the Aqueduct of Claudius, a magnificent structure that once supplied water to this great empire. Standing proudly against the backdrop of the Alban Hills, it is a testament to Roman engineering prowess. The Appian Way, one of Rome's earliest and most significant roads, stretches out before us in all its grandeur. This strategic route connected Rome with various parts of Italy and played a crucial role in shaping the destiny of this mighty republic. As we gaze upon this sepia-toned scene, we can almost feel ourselves transported into another era. The weathered facade and crumbling architecture evoke a sense of mystery and awe. Nature has begun reclaiming what was once man-made as trees dot the landscape surrounding these ancient ruins. Intriguingly, amidst this historical setting, people go about their daily lives - horses trot along the road while others traverse through fields nearby. It serves as a reminder that life continues to thrive even amongst remnants from centuries past. Enrico Verdesi's masterful illustration captures not only an architectural marvel but also tells a story about human ingenuity and resilience throughout history. This print allows us to appreciate both the beauty of nature and mankind's ability to leave lasting imprints on our world.
