EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Mosaic Floor Panel Depicting a Personification of a Season, dating back to the 2nd century. The creator of this exquisite artwork remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its allure. Originally part of a larger mosaic discovered in the ruins of a villa on Monte Rosario, just outside the Porta Portuensis in Rome, these panels were carefully removed by Lord Charles Kinnaird and Lord George William Russell in 1823. The vibrant colors and intricate details showcased in this ancient Roman masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. Crafted with stone glass mortar and skillfully arranged pieces of glass, each fragment contributes to the overall beauty and harmony of the composition. The personification depicted represents one of the four seasons; however, which specific season is portrayed remains open to interpretation. Now housed within the esteemed Art Institute Chicago's collection under their Arts of Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantium section, this piece stands as a testament to both Roman artistry and historical preservation efforts. Its presence evokes feelings of wonderment as we contemplate its journey through time from ancient Italy to its current location. As we admire this stunning artifact captured through photography, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also recognize it as an invaluable link connecting us to our rich cultural heritage.
