EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of ancient Rome. Taken in 1885, it showcases an excavation site on the Quirinal Hill, Italy. The focal point of this image is the remarkable bronze sculpture known as the Boxer of Quirinal, discovered during these excavations. The Boxer of Quirinal, dating back to the 1st century B. C. , stands proudly at the right side of the frame. This magnificent piece represents a powerful athlete from ancient times and serves as a testament to Roman artistry and athleticism. Surrounded by dirt and debris, archaeologists can be seen diligently working in this outdoor pit. A ladder leans against one side, providing access for further exploration into Rome's past. These dedicated individuals are unearthing remnants from different eras such as Iron Age artifacts that shed light on life during those times. The ruins visible in the background remind us of Rome's glorious past as an empire that once dominated much of Europe. This photograph not only captures a specific moment but also encapsulates centuries worth of history waiting to be discovered beneath our feet. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, this print allows us to appreciate both the beauty and significance found within archaeological excavations like this one in Rome. It serves as a reminder that even after thousands of years have passed since its creation, art continues to captivate our imagination and connect us with civilizations long gone.
