EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 1670s, showcasing the excavation of the tomb of Quintus Nasonius Ambrosius. The image is a lithograph from Giovanni Pietro Bellori's renowned publication "Le Pitture Antiche del Sepulchro d Nasonii nella Via Flaminia" which was published in Rome in 1702. The scene depicts a group of diligent workmen meticulously unearthing the remains of this ancient burial place. Their focused expressions reveal their dedication to uncovering the secrets hidden beneath layers of history. As they dig deeper into the earth, classical architecture emerges, hinting at the grandeur that once adorned this final resting place. The ruins being excavated transport us to ancient Rome, where stories and legends intertwine with each stone uncovered. This archaeological site holds not only physical remnants but also whispers of forgotten tales waiting to be rediscovered. Through this engraving, we are reminded of humanity's ceaseless curiosity about our past. It serves as a testament to our collective desire to understand those who came before us and honor their memory by preserving their legacy. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images invites us on an immersive journey through time, inviting contemplation on both the fragility and resilience inherent in human existence.
