EDITORS COMMENTS
The remains of the House of Cornelius Rufus in Pompeii are beautifully captured in this stunning print by Brogi from Alinari. Dating back to the 1st century BC and 1st century AD, this image showcases various architectural elements that once adorned this ancient Roman house. As we gaze upon the photograph, our eyes are drawn to the intricate details that have managed to survive through centuries of history. The impluvium, a central courtyard designed to collect rainwater, stands as a testament to the ingenuity of Roman engineering. Surrounding it, we can see trapezofori - small rooms used for storage or as living spaces - which provide insight into daily life during that era. Moving further into the frame, our attention is captivated by the tablinum. This room served as an office or study area for its inhabitants and was often decorated with beautiful frescoes depicting scenes from mythology or everyday life. The remnants of these artistic masterpieces hint at the grandeur and sophistication that once filled these walls. Finally, our gaze settles on the peristyle - an open courtyard surrounded by columns - which adds an air of elegance and tranquility to this ancient dwelling. It is here where residents would have enjoyed moments of relaxation amidst lush greenery and flowing water features. This mesmerizing print transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at Pompeii's rich history and architectural prowess. It serves as a poignant reminder of how even after being buried under layers of volcanic ash for centuries, glimpses into past civilizations can still be uncovered through meticulous archaeological excavations like those conducted at this site.
