EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Portico of Octavia" takes us back in time to the ancient city of Rome during the Imperial Period. The image showcases the remarkable architecture and grandeur of the Portico di Ottavia, also known as Portico of Octavia. Dating back to 146 BC, this magnificent structure was built during the Severan Period and stands as a testament to Roman artistry and engineering prowess. Its arches, building elements, and decorative sections are beautifully captured in this photograph by Alinari, Fratelli. The composition offers a glimpse into daily life within this historic setting. A child is portrayed amidst a bustling street scene near the portico's entrance. The square or piazza surrounding it exudes an urban ambiance that transports us directly into ancient civilization. As we take in this view of the city through Alinari's lens, we can't help but marvel at how well-preserved these architectural wonders have remained throughout history. This commemorative gateway serves not only as a physical passage but also as a symbolic representation of Rome's rich cultural heritage. The photograph itself was taken in 1936; however, its subject matter spans centuries. It invites us to reflect on Europe's past while appreciating its enduring influence on our present-day society. Let this evocative artwork transport you to another era - where emperors reigned supreme and Roman art flourished - reminding us that even after thousands of years, remnants from ancient civilizations continue to captivate our imagination with their timeless beauty.
