EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient city of Volubilis in Morocco, where Roman influence once thrived. The image showcases a remarkable Roman mosaic found within the House of the Cortege of Venus, depicting a scene from mythology. In this particular detail, we see Diana, the goddess of hunting and the moon, bathing in serene solitude. However, unbeknownst to her, Acteon gazes upon her with curiosity. The craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in this mosaic are truly awe-inspiring. Every delicate tile seems to come alive as it forms Diana's graceful figure – naked from waist up – capturing both her vulnerability and divine beauty. This artifact serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of ancient civilizations. Volubilis itself holds great historical significance as an archaeological treasure trove settled by Romans since the 1st century A. D. Its inclusion on UNESCO's World Heritage List further solidifies its importance in preserving our shared human heritage. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how art has transcended centuries and continents. It allows us glimpses into distant cultures and mythologies that continue to captivate our imagination even today. Let this print transport you back through history as you explore the rich tapestry woven by ancient Rome and Morocco's cultural legacy.
