EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning detail from a 2nd century BC mosaic known as "Festoon with tragic mask, leaves and fruits". The intricate artwork, created by Roman artists in the 1st century AD, can be found at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Italy. The focal point of this detail is a tragic mask surrounded by an abundance of leaves and fruits. The mask exudes a sense of sorrow and melancholy, capturing the essence of tragedy that was often depicted in ancient Roman art. It serves as a reminder of the emotional depth explored through theatrical performances during that time. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element present within this festoon. The leaves are meticulously crafted to resemble their natural counterparts while the fruits add vibrant pops of color against the backdrop. This mosaic fragment measures an impressive 280 x 49 cm, showcasing both its grandeur and artistic skill. Located within Pompeii's Casa del Fauno (House of the Faun), this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into ancient Roman culture and aesthetics. Preserved over centuries, it now resides within the National Archaeological Museum in Naples for all to admire. Luisa Ricciarini has captured this moment beautifully through her lens, allowing us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also nature's beauty intertwined with human expression.
