EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of the mosaic known as "Rural Sacrifice to Diana" from the Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina, Italy. The artwork is housed in a room of the peristyle and belongs to the Late Antique Period, specifically dating back to the 3rd or 4th century AD. In this scene, we witness an ancient hunting expedition taking place amidst lush vegetation and towering trees. A group of hunters on horseback can be seen pursuing wild boars through dense undergrowth. The attention to detail is remarkable, with each figure depicted in elaborate costumes that reflect the fashion and clothing style of that era. The mosaic not only showcases scenes from daily life but also provides insights into ancient civilization and their relationship with nature. It highlights both terrestrial mammals like horses and wild boars, reminding us of our connection with these animals throughout history. The photograph itself was taken between 1960-1970 by Pietro Ronchetti, capturing every intricate element of this masterpiece. Its composition allows viewers to appreciate the skillful craftsmanship behind such an impressive work of art. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen within Roman history. It serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity during an era long gone but still preserved for us today at Villa Romana del Casale - a treasure trove showcasing Europe's rich ancient civilization.
