EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite beauty of two shelves adorned with lamps and bronze bases in various shapes and sizes. Originally discovered in the ancient city of Pompeii, these remarkable artifacts now find their home in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum of Naples. Dating back to the 1st century AD, these lamps are a testament to the rich Roman artistry that once flourished throughout Europe. Each lamp showcases intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail, reflecting the sophistication of an ancient civilization long gone. The photograph itself was taken between 1879-1910 by Brogi, a renowned Italian photographer associated with Alinari. Through his lens, he immortalizes this momentous piece of history for all to admire. These lamps were not mere decorative objects but rather essential elements within civic spaces during their time. They served as both functional lighting sources and symbols of wealth and status. The bronze bases add an extra touch of elegance, elevating these lamps into true works of art. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the grandeur and opulence that characterized Roman society. It is through such archaeological finds that we gain invaluable insights into our past civilizations' way of life. This photograph serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, our fascination with ancient civilizations remains unwavering. These lamps continue to captivate us today as they did when they first illuminated Pompeii's streets all those years ago.
