Castel dell Ovo, Naples, Italy, 1927. The Castel dell Ovo was built in the 12th century by the Normans. Its importance declined after the 1280s when King Charles I of Anjou built the Castel Nuovo.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Castel dell Ovo in Naples, Italy, in 1927. The artist behind this masterpiece is Eugen Poppel, who beautifully portrays the historical significance of this ancient fortress. Built by the Normans during the 12th century, Castel dell Ovo played a crucial role in defending Naples until its importance waned after King Charles I of Anjou constructed Castel Nuovo in the late 13th century. The castle we see today dates back to the 15th century when Aragonese rulers governed Naples. Standing proudly on the waterfront, it showcases remarkable medieval architecture with its sturdy walls and fortifications. This monochrome image transports us back to a time when this picturesque location was at its prime. Eugen Poppel's photograph perfectly captures the essence of this Neapolitan landmark against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. It offers viewers a glimpse into Italy's rich history and cultural heritage from an era that witnessed significant changes throughout Europe. As we admire this stunning print from "Italien in Bildern" by Eugen Poppel, let us appreciate not only his artistic talent but also our ability to witness such timeless beauty that has stood strong for centuries.
