EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Men and a mule on the Appian Way, Via Appia, Jan Both, 1644-1652" we are transported back in time to witness a scene of ancient Roman life. The renowned photographer Quint Lox has expertly captured the essence of history and adventure in this image from the Liszt Collection. The photograph showcases a group of men accompanied by their trusty mule as they traverse the legendary Appian Way. This iconic road, also known as Via Appia, was one of Rome's most important thoroughfares during its heyday. Its cobblestone path stretches into the distance, disappearing into an unknown horizon. Jan Both's artwork beautifully captures both the grandeur and simplicity of this moment. The men appear small against the vastness of their surroundings but exude determination and resilience as they navigate through rough terrain with their loyal companion. Lox's choice to present this image in black and white adds a timeless quality to it. It emphasizes not only the historical significance but also highlights details such as textures on clothing or expressions on faces that might have been overlooked otherwise. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Quint Lox's lens, we can't help but feel connected to these individuals who once walked these very same paths centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, there are enduring aspects of human existence that transcend generations – our pursuit for exploration and our reliance on companionship along life's journey
