EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring view of The Capitol from the Forum, with the majestic Vesuvius looming in the background. Taken in Pompeii, Italy, this image transports us back to ancient Rome, capturing both its grandeur and tragic history. The ruins of Pompeii stand as a testament to the power and might of one of history's greatest civilizations. In vivid color, we see remnants of an ancient city frozen in time - columns still standing tall, arches framing long-forgotten streets, and fragments of once bustling marketplaces. Archaeology enthusiasts will appreciate this remarkable snapshot that offers a glimpse into the past. Every detail has been meticulously preserved by CM Dixon's lens; each stone tells a story waiting to be discovered. It is through these archaeological sites that we can unravel mysteries and gain insights into Roman life centuries ago. However, it is impossible to discuss Pompeii without acknowledging its tragic fate. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD buried this thriving city under layers of ash and pumice for nearly two millennia until its rediscovery in 1748. This haunting juxtaposition between beauty and destruction makes this photograph all the more poignant. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene captured by CM Dixon's skilled eye, let us reflect on our own impermanence while marveling at the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
