EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 5: The Tomb of Mausolus, from The Seven Wonders of The World, 1608" takes us back to the 17th century. Created by the talented Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, this classical masterpiece showcases his exceptional skill in etching. The image transports us to a construction site where the magnificent Mausoleum at Halicarnassus is being built. A group of men can be seen diligently working on this architectural wonder, using various tools such as chisels and hammers. Their occupation becomes evident as they meticulously carve intricate details into the stone pillars that will adorn the tomb. Tempesta's attention to detail is remarkable; every line and shadow adds depth and realism to the scene. As we observe these skilled workers engaged in their craft, we are reminded of the mathematical precision required for such an endeavor. Dividers and other mathematical instruments lay scattered around them, emphasizing their meticulous approach. The solemnity surrounding death permeates through this image. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship while paying homage to those who have passed away. Through Tempesta's artistry, we are transported not only to a specific location but also to a particular time period rich with history and cultural significance. This stunning piece is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection – a treasure trove preserving our collective heritage for generations to come.
