EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient Temple of Fortuna Augusta in Pompeii, Italy, dating back to 1910. The temple stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this iconic city, which was tragically buried under volcanic ash during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
The image showcases the intricate details of the temple's architecture, with its grand altar and imposing columns standing tall against the backdrop of a bustling street. The worn steps and weathered pavement tell stories of countless footsteps that have crossed this sacred ground over centuries.
As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when gods and goddesses were worshipped fervently, and rituals were performed to seek favor from Fortuna Augusta, the goddess of fortune and prosperity.
Through this photograph, we are reminded of the resilience of Pompeii's people who rebuilt their city after disaster struck, preserving their history for future generations to admire. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of adversity, hope can be found in our shared past.
Let us marvel at this piece of historical artistry captured by Rights Managed photography agency Mary Evans Prints Online – a visual treasure trove that allows us to connect with our roots and appreciate the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
