EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting landscapes of Provence, France in 1937. The subject is none other than the magnificent Pont du Gard, a Roman aqueduct near Nimes that stands as a testament to ancient engineering prowess. Built in the 1st century BC without any cement, this architectural marvel showcases the ingenuity and skill of its creators. The image captures the grandeur of this centuries-old structure with its towering arches gracefully spanning across the River Gardon. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing both the bridge's historical significance and its enduring beauty. Martin Hurlimann, an esteemed artist and author known for his works on French architecture, landscape, and people, expertly captured this moment in time. His illustration from "Frankreich: Baukunst, Landschaft Und Volksleben" allows us to appreciate not only the physicality of Pont du Gard but also its integration within its natural surroundings – a picturesque valley framed by rolling hills. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of how technology has evolved over centuries while still being inspired by ancient wonders like Pont du Gard. It serves as a reminder that even without modern advancements such as cement or machinery, human innovation can create lasting masterpieces that continue to awe generations after generation.
