EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic peristyle of the palace of Diocletian, a testament to the grandeur and architectural prowess of Roman Emperor Diocletian. The image takes us back in time to Split on the Dalmatian coast, where this magnificent structure still stands as a remarkable ruin. Engraved by P. Santini in 1768, this artwork beautifully captures the intricate details and imposing presence of the peristyle. Designed by renowned Scottish architect Robert Adam, it is evident that he sought to honor and preserve the historical significance of this ancient masterpiece. The peristyle itself is an awe-inspiring sight with its towering arches and impressive columns. It exudes an air of elegance and power, reflecting both Diocletian's reign as emperor from 284 to 305 AD and his vision for creating a lasting legacy. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost imagine ourselves walking through history amidst bustling market stalls within these very walls. The architecture speaks volumes about not only Diocletian's empire but also Croatia's rich cultural heritage. This print serves as a reminder that even in ruins, beauty endures. It invites us to appreciate the craftsmanship behind such monumental structures while igniting our curiosity about their stories from centuries past.
