EDITORS COMMENTS
The Arch of Septimius Severus, a testament to ancient glory and triumph, stands proudly in this photo print. Excavated and surrounded by a protective wall, the arch exudes an air of mystery and historical significance. Etched with meticulous detail by Agostino Tofanelli and engraved by Pietro Fontana, this artwork captures the essence of Roman antiquity. The Corinthian columns, adorned with intricate fluted designs, showcase the mastery of classical architecture. The coffered ceiling adds a touch of grandeur to the scene. Dedicated in 203 AD to honor Emperor Septimius Severus and his sons Caracalla and Geta, this majestic arch commemorates their victories over various adversaries from Parthians to Arabs. Over time, it had been buried beneath layers of history until its excavation down to its original ground level in 1803. The photograph not only highlights the architectural beauty but also emphasizes the importance of preservation and conservation efforts for such significant archaeological remains. It serves as a reminder that our past holds invaluable lessons for future generations. This stunning image from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection invites us into a world where ancient Rome comes alive. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the splendor and magnificence that once graced these hallowed grounds.
