EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "67. Colosseum, Rome, Second View, May 1846" transports us back to the architectural marvel of ancient Rome. Created by Calvert Jones in the 19th century, this image captures the grandeur and timeless beauty of the Colosseum. The photograph showcases a cutaway view of the Flavian Amphitheatre, commonly known as the Colosseum. Its intricate details are brought to life through Jones' skilled use of photography. The ruinous state of this iconic structure is evident in every corner, reminding us of its rich history. As we gaze upon this salted paper print from a paper negative, we are transported to a different era - one where gladiators once battled for their lives and spectators cheered from these very stands. The sheer size and scale of the Colosseum is awe-inspiring; it stands as a testament to Roman engineering prowess. Calvert Richard Jones masterfully captures not only the physicality but also the essence of this historic landmark. His panoramic composition allows us to appreciate both its grandeur against Rome's landscape and its significance within Italian heritage. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this Victorian-era photograph serves as an important reminder that even ruins can hold immense beauty and cultural value. It invites viewers to reflect on our shared human history while appreciating artistry captured through time's lens.
