EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Roman mosaic titled "Red mullets and ducks". Mosaics, an ancient art form, are created by arranging small pieces of colored glass or stone to form intricate images or patterns on floors or walls. In this particular mosaic, four vibrant red mullet fish gracefully hover above three elegant ducks. A sprig of myrtle and three berries separate the two species, adding a touch of natural beauty to the composition. What makes this artwork even more fascinating is its historical significance. This mosaic represents a typical combination of food served during Roman times, offering us a glimpse into their culinary preferences. The House of the Grand Duke of Tuscany proudly houses this masterpiece that depicts not only the fauna found in Italy but also reflects the classical influences prevalent in Roman culture. The attention to detail in this mosaic is awe-inspiring; each tile meticulously placed to create lifelike representations of these aquatic creatures and their surroundings. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and zoological knowledge present during antiquity. Displayed within the National Archaeological Museum, this piece invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its cultural importance.
