EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1927, capturing the timeless beauty of The Via Appia (Appian Way) in Rome, Italy. Renowned artist Eugen Poppel skillfully frames the image with the majestic tomb of Cecilia Metella standing tall in the background. The Via Appia was a remarkable road constructed by the Romans, connecting Rome to Brindisi on the Apulian coast. Its historical significance is evident as it served as a vital artery for trade and travel during ancient times. In this photograph, we witness a glimpse of its grandeur. Cecilia Metella's tomb holds an intriguing story within its walls. As daughter of Quintus Caecilius Metellus Creticus, Roman Consul in 69 BC, she was also married into prominence as Marcus Licinius Crassus' daughter-in-law – one of Rome's triumvirs. Her husband lovingly erected this mausoleum overlooking the Appian Way as a tribute to her memory. Eugen Poppel masterfully captures not only these architectural wonders but also includes elements that bring life to this scene: people riding horses along this historic route and lush trees lining both sides of the road. This monochrome print evokes a sense of nostalgia while highlighting both natural and man-made marvels from centuries past. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with history and our desire to explore new horizons even today.
