EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detached fresco from Herculaneum, depicting the timeless tale of Hippolytus and Phaedra. Created during the 1st century A. D. , this remarkable piece of Roman art now resides in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum in Naples. The image transports us back to ancient times, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Europe's past civilizations. The mural painting captures the essence of Greco-Roman mythology, with its intricate details and vibrant colors that have stood the test of time. In this particular scene, we witness Hippolytus and Phaedra portrayed in their distinctive attire. Their clothing reflects the fashion trends prevalent during that era, providing valuable insights into ancient costume styles. The male figure of Hippolytus stands tall and noble on his horse, exuding strength and grace. Meanwhile, Phaedra's portrait reveals her feminine beauty as she gazes upon him with longing. The composition skillfully combines elements from both terrestrial mammals and human figures to create a harmonious blend between nature and civilization. This fusion highlights the interconnectedness between humans and animals within ancient cultures. Captured by Anderson in 1902, this photograph preserves not only an exquisite artwork but also serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with history. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its creation, Roman art continues to captivate audiences worldwide through its profound storytelling ability.
