EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hugh Rooney takes us on a journey back in time to the ancient city of Pompeii, specifically to the Bakery of Modestus. Located in Campania, Italy, this archaeological site is a testament to the rich history and architectural marvels that once thrived in Western Europe. The image showcases the remarkable preservation of this bakery, which was buried under layers of volcanic ash during the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The intricate details and structural integrity are awe-inspiring, offering a glimpse into daily life during Roman times. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost imagine the bustling activity that once took place within these walls. The aroma of freshly baked bread fills our senses as bakers skillfully knead dough and tend to their ovens. It's as if time has stood still for centuries within these ancient ruins. Rooney's expert composition captures not only the grandeur but also the delicate nuances of this historical gem. The play between light and shadow highlights every nook and cranny, emphasizing both its beauty and decay. For those with an appreciation for archaeology or Mediterranean culture, this print serves as a window into another world—a reminder that even amidst destruction and tragedy lies an enduring legacy waiting to be discovered.
