EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the ancient city of Pompeii, frozen in a moment between its tragic past and the present day. The image showcases a collection of large terracotta jars with lids, meticulously crafted by Roman artisans for the purpose of preserving precious liquids. These magnificent vessels, standing tall against the backdrop of Pompeii's archaeological park, serve as a testament to both the ingenuity and artistic prowess of Roman civilization. Each jar bears witness to an era long gone, where craftsmanship was revered and functionality met beauty seamlessly. The photographer, Giorgio Sommer, expertly captures not only the physicality but also the essence of these objects. Through his lens, we can almost feel their weightiness and imagine the stories they hold within their clay walls. They stand as silent witnesses to daily life in ancient Pompeii - from bustling markets to intimate family gatherings. As we gaze upon this remarkable print dating back to 1890-1910, our minds wander through time and space. We find ourselves marveling at how such simple yet elegant objects have managed to survive centuries buried beneath layers of ash and debris. Sommer's photograph reminds us that archaeology is more than just digging up ruins; it is about unearthing fragments that connect us with our shared human history. These jars are not mere artifacts; they are windows into a world long lost but forever imprinted on our collective consciousness. Let this evocative image transport you back in time as you contemplate the legacy left behind by those who once called Pompeii home – their lives encapsulated within these beautifully preserved terracotta jars.
