EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithographic print by Giovanni Battista Piranesi offers a mesmerizing view of the Temples of Paestum. The ancient city, known for its Graeco-Roman architecture, is beautifully captured in this artwork. The image transports us to a time when these temples stood tall and proud amidst the Campania region of Italy. The artist's attention to detail is evident as we observe the intricate engravings that bring life to this scene. The overgrown surroundings add an air of mystery and romance, emphasizing the passage of time and nature's reclamation of man-made structures. The composition showcases the grandeur and majesty of classical Roman architecture, with its Doric columns standing strong against the test of time. These ruins serve as a reminder of an era long gone but not forgotten. As we delve into this print, we are transported back in history, imagining what life was like within these walls centuries ago. It evokes a sense of wonderment and awe at human achievements while also reminding us that everything eventually succumbs to decay. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully captured the essence and beauty found within these ancient ruins through his skillful engraving technique. This artwork serves as both a testament to our past and an invitation to explore further into history's depths.
