EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 5: Tomb of Mausolus, stone masons make a column at the right" takes us back in time to the ancient city of Halicarnassus. Antonio Tempesta skillfully captures the essence of this historical moment from his series "The Seven Wonders of the World" in 1608. In this image, we witness a group of skilled stone masons diligently working on constructing a column for the magnificent Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. The men are fully immersed in their craft, showcasing their expertise and dedication to their occupation. Smoke rises from the tools they wield as they shape and carve each intricate detail with precision. The composition exudes a sense of timeless beauty and showcases both architectural mastery and human ingenuity. The mausoleum itself stands tall in the background, serving as a testament to one man's legacy - Mausolus - whose final resting place would become one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Tempesta's use of black and white adds an air of nostalgia to this scene, emphasizing its historical significance. Through his etching technique, he masterfully brings forth every texture and contour found within these ancient stones. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back centuries ago when craftsmanship was revered above all else. It serves as a reminder that even today, our world is shaped by those who dedicate themselves to preserving history through their workmanship
