EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of "The ruins of Laodicea" in 1887. The artist, W Wallis, skillfully portrays the remnants of this ancient city that once stood as a testament to Hellenistic culture. Laodicea was not just one city but a name given to multiple cities in honor of several queens named Laodice from the Seleucid dynasty. These cities were distinguished by nicknames based on their geographical features, which is why there were at least six Laodiceas. In this image, we see a group of men resting outside their tents amidst the deserted landscape. The ruins stretch across the hillside, surrounded by majestic mountains and an expansive sky. The elevated view allows us to appreciate the vastness and grandeur of this historical site. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of timelessness to the scene, emphasizing both its age and enduring significance. It transports us back to the 19th century when explorers like Samuel Bough sought out these remote locations to document them for posterity. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our connection to history and how civilizations rise and fall over time. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great empires can crumble into ruins but leave behind traces that continue to captivate our imagination. This print from Heritage Images offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on continuity through centuries while appreciating the beauty found within desolation.
