EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the grandeur of the Quirinal Palace in Rome, circa 1920. The palace, which serves as the official residence of the Italian President, is a true masterpiece of architecture and history. In this image, we see the iconic obelisk that was moved to the palace from the mausoleum of Augustus, standing tall and proud against the backdrop of a clear blue sky.
Flanking either side of the obelisk are two magnificent statues representing Castor and Pollux, also known as Polydeuces, as horse tamers. These Roman copies of Greek originals add an air of ancient mythology and elegance to the scene. The attention to detail in these sculptures is truly remarkable - every muscle and sinew is expertly crafted to convey strength and grace.
In front of these statues lies a beautiful fountain, adding a sense of tranquility to this bustling cityscape. The water glistens in the sunlight, creating a peaceful oasis amidst all the historical splendor.
Overall, this print is a testament to both Rome's rich cultural heritage and its enduring beauty. It serves as a reminder of how artistry and history can come together to create something truly magnificent.
