EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Temple of Neptune in Paestum, Italy. Captured by the talented Italian photographer Giorgio Sommer, who was born in Germany and lived from 1834 to 1914, this albumen silver print transports us back to a time between 1855 and 1865. The Temple of Neptune stands as a testament to ancient Roman architecture and its enduring beauty. Its grandeur is beautifully captured in this photograph, with every intricate detail highlighted by Sommer's expert eye. The temple's imposing columns reach towards the sky, creating an awe-inspiring sight that leaves viewers breathless. Located in Salerno, Italy, Paestum is renowned for its well-preserved Greek temples dating back to around 600 BC. This particular temple dedicated to Neptune (or Poseidon) was one of three major structures within the archaeological site. Sommer's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the image, enhancing our appreciation for both the architectural masterpiece itself and his artistic prowess behind the lens. Through this photograph, we are transported across centuries to witness firsthand the magnificence of ancient Rome. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, it serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to create lasting wonders that transcend time itself.
