EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Fragment of a Checkerboard Patterned Inlay, dating back to the 1st century BCE-1st century CE. The ancient Roman artifact, discovered in Italy, is an exquisite example of decorative arts from that era. The close-up shot highlights the intricate design and geometric pattern of this inlaid glass mosaic. The checkerboard motif, created using the glass technique, features alternating black and white squares with delicate pink accents. The use of these colors adds depth and visual interest to the piece. As we admire this fragment, we are transported back in time to ancient Rome, where such beautiful objects adorned homes and public spaces alike. It serves as a testament to the artistic prowess and craftsmanship of our ancestors. Now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago's art centre, this heritage artwork continues to captivate visitors with its timeless beauty. Its presence within their collection allows us all to appreciate and learn from the rich history of art. While its creator remains unknown today, it is clear that they possessed great skill in creating stunning decorative pieces like this one. This photograph print not only preserves but also celebrates this remarkable object from antiquity for generations to come.
