EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 23: Amphitheater of Pola in Istria near the sea" transports us back to ancient Rome. Captured by the talented Giovanni Battista Piranesi around 1748, this image showcases the magnificent Anfiteatro di Pola in Istria, Croatia. The amphitheater's grandeur is awe-inspiring as it stands proudly against a backdrop of calm waters and fishing boats. Its architectural brilliance is evident in every detail of its facade, which has withstood the test of time since its construction in the first century. As we delve into this etching, we are drawn to the panoramic view that reveals a glimpse into life during that era. In the background, people can be seen going about their daily activities, adding depth and context to this historical masterpiece. Piranesi's skillful use of black and white enhances our appreciation for both the structure itself and its surroundings. The contrast between light and shadow creates a sense of drama that further emphasizes the timeless beauty captured within this image. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Italy's rich heritage and cultural significance. It invites us to explore not only an ancient monument but also an entire country steeped in history. Displayed proudly at The Met museum, Plate 23 reminds us of our connection to antiquity while highlighting UNESCO's commitment to preserving these invaluable treasures for generations to come.
