Restanten van de Tempel van Venus in Pompeï c. 1860 - 1900

"Restanten van de Tempel van Venus in Pompeï" (c. 1860-1900) is an albumen print photograph by Italian photographer Giorgio Sommer. The photograph depicts the ruins of the Temple of Venus in Pompeii, a Roman city preserved by volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The image captures the grandeur of the ancient temple, with its towering columns and the remains of its once-elaborate facade. It offers a glimpse into the history of Roman architecture and the impact of the Vesuvius eruption. This work is part of Sommer's larger collection of photographs documenting the ancient city of Pompeii, providing invaluable historical and artistic insights.
