EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of the Arch of Trajan, known as Port'Aurea, in Benevento. The arch stands tall against a clear sky, its intricate details and imposing structure capturing the essence of Roman art and architecture. Dating back to 114 AD during the Trajanic Period of ancient Rome, this magnificent triumphal arch served as a commemorative structure for Emperor Trajan's military victories. Its inscription tells tales of conquests while serving as an instrument of communication between generations. The photograph was taken in 1931 by Anderson from Alinari, offering us a glimpse into Europe's rich ancient civilization. It transports us to an era where monumental sites like this were at the heart of society. Every element is meticulously captured - from the cornice to building elements, decoration sections to high relief sculptures. The attention to detail highlights not only the craftsmanship but also the significance placed on visual storytelling during that time. The arch's grandiosity is further emphasized by its towering columns and intricately carved capitals. These architectural marvels stand as testaments to human ingenuity and skill. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork frozen in time, we are reminded of our connection with history - how it shapes our present and influences our future. This print serves as a reminder that even though centuries have passed since its creation, the Arch of Trajan continues to inspire awe and admiration for those who appreciate ancient civilizations' beauty and legacy.
