Pozzuoli_ Temple of Serapis c. 1863 - 1873

Giorgio Sommer's "Pozzuoli: Temple of Serapis" is a black and white photograph depicting the ruins of the Roman Temple of Serapis in Pozzuoli, Italy. The image captures the grandeur of the ancient structure, with its imposing columns standing tall against a backdrop of trees and other ruins. The photo was taken in 1863-1873 and is currently held at the Städel Museum. Sommer's photographic documentation of historical sites contributed to the development of archaeological photography as a genre and provides a glimpse into the past.
