EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the majestic Amphitheatre of El Jenn in all its glory. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than John Sands, who skillfully depicts the ruins of this ancient architectural marvel. The amphitheater stands proudly against a backdrop of clear blue skies, showcasing its grandeur even in its ruined state. A group of people on horseback can be seen exploring the grounds, adding a sense of scale and adventure to the scene. Horses gracefully trot amidst the remnants of what was once a bustling theater filled with spectators. The monochrome palette enhances the timeless beauty and historical significance of this image. It transports us to Tunisia's Mahdia Governorate, where El Jenn resides as an enduring symbol of past civilizations. Originally published in "Il Mediterraneo Illustrato" this engraving captures every intricate detail with precision and elegance. Grenville Temple's influence is also evident in Sands' work, paying homage to his artistic legacy. As we gaze upon this print from The Print Collector collection, we are reminded that history lives on through art. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience while inviting us to explore our own connection with ancient civilizations that have shaped our world today.
