Gezicht op de ruïne van het Macellum di Pozzuoli c. 1860 - 1880

"Gezicht op de ruïne van het Macellum di Pozzuoli" (View of the ruins of the Macellum of Pozzuoli) is a photograph by Giorgio Sommer, taken between 1860 and 1880. The photograph depicts the ruins of the Macellum, a Roman market building, in Pozzuoli, Italy. The ruins are partially submerged in water, and the image captures the decay and dilapidation of the ancient structure. The photograph is a fine example of Sommer's work, which often focused on archaeological sites in Italy. His photographic style captured the beauty of ruins and the grandeur of ancient Rome. This particular photograph is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
