EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating mosaic print titled "Theseus fighting the minotaur" takes us back to the ancient world of Greek mythology. Created in the 1st to 3rd century AD, this artwork showcases a legendary battle between Theseus, a brave Greek hero, and the fearsome half-man, half-bull creature known as the Minotaur. The scene depicted in this mosaic is filled with intensity and violence. Theseus stands tall and muscular, his body adorned with only minimal clothing as he confronts his monstrous opponent. The Minotaur looms over him, its grotesque form emphasized by its nudity and animalistic features. This artwork not only captures a moment of physical combat but also represents an eternal struggle between good and evil. It symbolizes humanity's constant fight against our inner demons or personal challenges that we must overcome. Originally discovered at Pompeii, one can't help but marvel at how this ancient masterpiece has survived through time. Its intricate details and vibrant colors are a testament to Roman artistry during that era. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful capture of this historical artifact allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and mythological significance it holds. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back centuries ago when gods walked among mortals and heroes faced unimaginable trials - reminding us of our shared human history intertwined with legends that continue to captivate our imagination today.
