EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Entrance to the port of Rhodes, adorned with the majestic Fort of St. Nicholas and two remarkable bronze columns depicting a deer and the Capitoline she-wolf. The photograph, taken around 1936, showcases a moment frozen in time from an artwork created between 1464 and 1480. The image transports us back to Renaissance-era Greece, where architectural styles seamlessly blend Renaissance and Baroque influences. The fortification stands proudly against the backdrop of a picturesque seascape, symbolizing strength and protection. The intricate details of this masterpiece are brought to life through Alinari's lens. The imposing fort commands attention as it overlooks both naval and river transportation routes, serving as a vital structure for defense purposes. Its fortified towers stand tall against the horizon, evoking feelings of awe and admiration for their engineering prowess. Intriguingly placed beside these formidable structures are two bronze columns: one featuring a deer sculpture while the other depicts the iconic Capitoline she-wolf. These statues add an artistic touch to an otherwise military landscape, showcasing how art intertwines with everyday life in this historic setting. As we gaze upon this scene captured by Alinari's skilled eye, we can almost envision small boats navigating through these waters - transporting goods or people across distances during that era. This photograph is not just a mere documentation; it is an invitation to explore history through visual storytelling. It invites us to appreciate Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over centuries - from ancient times until today - reminding us that even in our modern world, echoes of past civilizations continue to shape our present reality.
