EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a drunken sleeping maenad, an ancient Roman fresco dating back to the 1st century AD. The artwork, known as "menade ivre dormie" is part of the 3rd Pompeian style and was discovered in the house of the Citharist in Pompeii, Italy. The image showcases a beautiful yet vulnerable naked woman peacefully slumbering amidst her intoxicated state. Her body is delicately painted with intricate details that highlight both her femininity and the effects of alcoholism on her physique. The artist skillfully portrays this scene with a remarkable level of realism. Displayed at Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Campania, Italy, this piece exemplifies Roman artistry at its finest. It offers us a glimpse into the daily life and indulgences of ancient Rome while also raising questions about societal norms surrounding nudity and excess during that era. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and nuance captured within this historic masterpiece. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how art can immortalize moments from centuries ago.
