EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the panoramic view of the remains of the Temple of Minerva and the Temple of Apollo in Selinunte. The image, taken by Giorgio Sommer in 1865, showcases the grandeur and beauty that once adorned these ancient archaeological sites. Amidst the crumbling ruins, a lone figure on horseback adds a sense of scale to this vast landscape. The man's presence evokes a feeling of awe as he navigates through history, surrounded by centuries-old columns and architectural elements. The composition highlights both the magnificence and fragility of these structures, emphasizing their significance in human history. Each column stands tall as a testament to human ingenuity while also bearing witness to the passage of time. Sommer's skillful photography brings out intricate details in every corner, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the grandeur but also the subtle decorative elements that adorn these temples. From afar, one can see how nature has intertwined itself with man-made structures over time. This print serves as a reminder that even in ruin, there is beauty to be found. It invites us to reflect on our own impermanence while marveling at humanity's ability to create enduring works of art and architecture.
