EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the ancient city of Pompeii. Taken by Italian photographer Giorgio Sommer around 1865-1875, this albumen silver print showcases the magnificent Forum with the imposing Mount Vesuvius as its backdrop. The Forum, once a bustling center of political, social, and commercial activities in Pompeii, is now frozen in time due to the catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. The ruins depicted here offer a glimpse into the daily lives of its inhabitants centuries ago. Giorgio Sommer's skilled craftsmanship is evident in this beautifully composed image. The contrast between light and shadow creates a dramatic effect that enhances our appreciation for both the architectural grandeur of the Forum and the ominous presence of Vesuvius looming behind it. Sommer's attention to detail allows us to observe intricate carvings on columns, remnants of statues, and fragments of buildings that have stood against time's relentless march. This photograph serves as a testament to human resilience while also reminding us of nature's destructive power. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, we are transported not only to an ancient city frozen by tragedy but also reminded of our own mortality. It serves as a poignant reminder that history has much to teach us about our past and future alike.
