EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the House of Orpheus mosaic, depicting the legendary figure surrounded by a plethora of wild animals. Created during the 3rd century AD in Volubilis, Morocco, this exquisite artwork known as Maison d'Orphee transports us back in time to witness an enchanting scene. The intricate mosaic design beautifully captures the essence of nature's diversity and its harmonious coexistence with mankind. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, our eyes are drawn to the majestic elephant standing tall amidst a backdrop of lush trees and ornate flooring. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element, from the delicate feathers of birds soaring above to the powerful presence of horses galloping alongside Orpheus. Each animal depicted holds symbolic significance; they represent both wildlife and farm animals, showcasing humanity's deep connection with nature. This decorative ensemble not only adds aesthetic beauty but also serves as a reminder of our intertwined existence with these creatures. Gerard Degeorge has masterfully captured this moment through his lens, preserving it for generations to come. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance behind this ancient mosaic but also its historical importance within archaeological sites like Volubilis.
