EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken around 1890, we are transported to the breathtaking coastal city of Naples. The image showcases the majestic beauty of "The rock of Frisio and Punta of Posillipo" as seen from the sea. Renowned photographer Achille Mauri skillfully captures this iconic landmark, revealing its imposing presence against a backdrop of serene waters. Perched on top of a cliff, the rock stands tall, commanding attention with its rugged texture and sheer magnitude. Its weathered surface tells tales of time gone by, while simultaneously exuding an air of timeless strength. Nestled beside it is Punta di Posillipo, another natural wonder that adds depth to the composition. As our gaze extends beyond these magnificent formations, we are greeted by a picturesque seascape that stretches into infinity. The calm waters reflect the surrounding landscape like a mirror, creating an ethereal atmosphere that invites contemplation and tranquility. Adding life to this scene is a small boat gently gliding across the water's surface. This humble vessel serves as both transportation and object within this vast expanse; it symbolizes human connection with nature in its purest form. Mauri's masterful use of light and shadow enhances every detail captured in this print. From the intricate textures on the rocky cliffs to subtle nuances in cloud formations above them – each element contributes to an overall sense of awe-inspiring grandeur. This remarkable photograph transports us back in time to experience Naples' natural wonders through Mauri's lens. It reminds us how architecture can harmoniously coexist with nature's splendor while evoking feelings of serenity and admiration for Earth's boundless beauty
