EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the awe-inspiring Apsis of the Oracle, amidst the ruins of the Temple of Fortuna Primigenia in Palestrina (Praeneste). The image takes us back to ancient times, specifically to the Republican Period in Roman history. The temple itself is a remarkable example of Roman architecture, showcasing intricate details and grandeur that were characteristic of this era. Its majestic columns and ornate carvings stand as a testament to the advanced engineering skills and artistic prowess of ancient civilizations. Dating back to 160-82 BC, this artwork holds immense historical significance. It offers a glimpse into Europe's rich past and serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted our modern civilization is in these ancient foundations. What makes this particular photograph even more intriguing is its date: circa 1890. Through Anderson's lens, we are transported not only through time but also witness an intersection between different periods in human history – capturing both antiquity and more recent times. It is important to note that this religious structure does not belong to Christian traditions; rather it represents an integral part of non-Christian beliefs prevalent during those times. Alinari has masterfully captured this momentous piece from our collective heritage with great attention to detail. This print invites us on a visual journey where we can immerse ourselves in the splendor and mystique surrounding one of Rome's most significant architectural marvels. As we gaze at this mesmerizing image, let us appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its ability to transport us across centuries – reminding us that our present existence is intricately intertwined with the legacies left behind by those who came before us.
