EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and historical significance of "The Forum. Portico on its western side" in Pompeii, Italy. The ancient ruins stand as a testament to the rich architectural heritage and archaeological wonders that lie within this region of Western Europe. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent portico that stretches across the frame. Its weathered columns and intricate detailing tell stories of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to when this bustling marketplace was at its peak. The composition beautifully showcases the fusion of Roman and Greek influences in Mediterranean architecture, with each element meticulously preserved despite centuries of wear and tear. The play of light and shadow adds depth to every crevice, emphasizing both the strength and fragility inherent in these ancient structures. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph serves as a reminder of Pompeii's tragic past - an entire city frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. It sparks curiosity about what life must have been like for those who once walked these very streets. Hugh Rooney's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also the historical significance behind these ruins. It invites us on a journey through time, encouraging exploration into one of Europe's most iconic archaeological sites.
