EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Lullingstone Roman Villa mosaic, a true testament to the artistic prowess of ancient Rome. Located in Kent, England, this remarkable piece adorns the Audience Room of the villa and depicts a scene from Greek mythology that has captivated audiences for centuries. In this mesmerizing mosaic floor, we are transported to a mythical realm where Bellerophon fearlessly rides atop Pegasus, his trusted winged steed. With spear in hand, he valiantly confronts and triumphantly spears the fearsome Chimaera - a legendary creature with lion's head, goat's body, and serpent's tail. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this mythological battle to life before our very eyes. The craftsmanship evident in every tile is truly awe-inspiring. Each delicate stroke contributes to an overall masterpiece that has stood the test of time. This photograph captures not only the beauty but also serves as an invaluable historical record of one of Britain's most significant archaeological discoveries. Jonathan Bailey skillfully immortalizes this iconic mosaic through his lens, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur even if we cannot witness it firsthand. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage left behind by those who came before us – their stories etched into stone for generations to come. Let this print transport you back in time as you marvel at the extraordinary talent and imagination that once graced these ancient walls.
