EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Temple of the Sun, Jerash, 1875" takes us back in time to ancient Roman architecture in the Middle East. Captured by Tancrede Dumas, an Italian photographer from the late 19th century, this print showcases a remarkable piece of history. The Temple of the Sun, now known as the Temple of Artemis, is beautifully depicted from a slightly eastern perspective. The image reveals only ten Corinthian columns standing tall amidst the ruins. Built during the reign of Antoninus Pius in the middle of the 2nd century AD, this Roman temple holds immense historical significance. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to Gerasa (modern-day Jerash), located in present-day Jordan. The remains of this majestic structure evoke a sense of awe and wonder at its grandeur even after centuries have passed. Dumas's skillful photography captures every intricate detail with precision and clarity. The monochromatic tones enhance our appreciation for both architectural beauty and archaeological preservation. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic mastery throughout history. It allows us to appreciate not only classical architecture but also sheds light on cultural heritage that has stood against time's relentless march. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images for Palestine Exploration Fund based in London UK; we can explore ancient wonders while contemplating their enduring legacy within our modern world.
