Bridge Nine Miles from Rome c. 19th century

Editor: This is Luigi Rossini's "Bridge Nine Miles from Rome." It’s pretty epic, this massive stone structure, but somehow also really still and silent. What do you make of it? Curator: It makes me think of time. Look at the bridge, solid, enduring. Then see the tiny figures near its base, fleeting, almost comical. Rossini invites us to ponder our place within history's grand scheme, don't you think? Like, who are we within these old stones? Editor: That's a cool perspective. I was so focused on the aqueduct itself, the engineering. Curator: And that's the beauty of art, isn’t it? Always more to discover. I'll be thinking of the aqueduct's timelessness now.
