Frank Horvat at the Terme di Caracalla
The Extraordinary Inside the Ordinary
Sometimes all it takes to see a familiar world differently is to change the way we look at it
This autumn, the Terme di Caracalla become the setting for the photographs of Frank Horvat, one of the great names of twentieth-century photography.
Running until 10 January 2027, the exhibition brings together 72 images spanning more than seventy years of artistic research. Horvat moved freely between fashion, reportage, travel, portraiture, and artistic experimentation, always guided by a profoundly curious and personal eye.
And the choice of location could hardly be more evocative.
Inside the monumental spaces of the ancient Baths, photographs of women, fashion, and landscapes enter into dialogue with the architecture of Imperial Rome.
Among the works are images created in Rome in the early 1960s for Harper’s Bazaar, including portraits of celebrated models alongside figures from the city’s cultural and cinematic world.
Horvat’s photography reminds us that beauty is not simply something we look at.
It is something we discover by changing perspective.
A woman walking through a street. A dress caught by the wind. A face illuminated by an unexpected light. A landscape seen for the first time.
The extraordinary can be hidden inside the ordinary.
And perhaps this is what makes photography so close to Rome: both invite us to look again.
