EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Michael Dunne transports us back in time to the ancient city of Herculaneum, nestled near Naples, Italy. The image showcases a hauntingly beautiful statue standing amidst the ruins of this once-thriving civilization. Its stoic presence serves as a poignant reminder of the catastrophic events that unfolded during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. The devastation caused by this natural disaster is palpable as we gaze upon the remnants of Herculaneum and its sister city Pompeii. Both cities were tragically buried under layers of volcanic ash and pumice, preserving them for centuries until their rediscovery in modern times. In this photograph, we witness not only an archaeological marvel but also a testament to human resilience. Despite being destroyed over two millennia ago, these ancient sites continue to captivate our imagination and offer invaluable insights into Roman life and culture. Dunne's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of the statue itself and its surroundings. The juxtaposition between past and present is striking; nature has reclaimed much of what was lost, yet fragments remain intact – silent witnesses to history's most dramatic moments. As we contemplate this powerful image, let it serve as a reminder that even in destruction there can be beauty. It urges us to cherish our own fleeting existence while honoring those who came before us – their stories etched forever within these hallowed grounds.
