EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing Nilotic scene, depicted in a mosaic from the House of the Faun in Pompeii. Now residing in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum in Naples, this artwork transports us back to ancient times. Dating back to the First Imperial Period and continuing into the Imperial Period, this Roman art masterpiece is a testament to Europe's rich ancient civilization. The photograph was taken in 1938, capturing every intricate detail of this remarkable mosaic. The mosaic itself is an exquisite example of applied arts and crafts. It features various creatures that inhabited the Nile River during that era. Among them are crocodiles, reptiles, and vertebrates gracefully intertwined with snakes and birds. A duck glides across the water while a hippopotamus rests on its terrestrial habitat nearby. The artist skillfully incorporated primary elements such as water and vegetation to create an authentic representation of nature's wonders. Every flower delicately placed adds vibrancy to this imperial period artwork. Alinari Fratelli expertly captured this image for posterity, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even today. This print serves as a window into history, transporting viewers back thousands of years when Pompeii thrived as a bustling city at the heart of Roman culture. As we gaze upon this stunning piece from our modern perspective, it reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with artistry and storytelling throughout time.
