EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of two fluted columns with architrave fragments, standing proudly amidst the ruins of the Temple of Castor and Pollux in Cori. The photographer, Brogi, skillfully brings to life this ancient Roman art piece that symbolizes Europe's rich history and ancient civilization. Dating back to around 89 AD, these magnificent columns have witnessed centuries of human triumphs and tribulations. Their weathered surfaces tell tales of a bygone era when empires rose and fell, leaving behind remnants that continue to awe us today. The intricate details on each column showcase the craftsmanship and architectural prowess prevalent during those times. The Temple of Castor and Pollux itself holds great significance as it was dedicated to the twin brothers who were revered as protectors in both Greek and Roman mythology. This sacred site served not only as a place for worship but also as a testament to Rome's cultural heritage. Brogi's expert lens captures every nuance with precision, allowing viewers to appreciate the grandeur even from afar. His choice of monochrome adds an air of timelessness while emphasizing the textures carved into each column. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time; our imagination fills in the gaps left by crumbling stones. We can almost hear echoes from distant eras whispering stories long forgotten. This photograph is more than just an artistic representation; it is a window into our collective past—a reminder that civilizations rise and fall but leave behind legacies etched in stone for generations yet unborn to marvel at.
