Gezicht op de ruïne van de Tempio di Giove in Pompeï c. 1860 - 1880

This stereoscopic photograph, taken by Italian photographer Giorgio Sommer around the 1860s, captures the ruins of the Temple of Jupiter in Pompeii. It provides a unique glimpse into the ancient Roman city, frozen in time after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The image shows the remnants of the temple, including its columns and arches, offering a poignant reminder of the grandeur of Roman architecture. This image, along with others in the "Pompeii" series, contributed to the growing fascination with ancient civilizations during the 19th century.
