Bassorilievo dell'arco di Tito 1848 - 1852

Eugène Constant's "Bassorilievo dell'arco di Tito" (1848-1852) is a striking photographic study of the Arch of Titus in Rome. The image captures a section of the arch's intricate relief sculpture, showcasing a procession of Roman figures and a chariot drawn by horses. Constant's work, produced in a time when photography was a nascent art form, offers a detailed glimpse into the architectural grandeur and artistic craftsmanship of ancient Rome. The photograph, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a valuable historical document and a testament to the enduring legacy of Roman art and architecture.
