EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate floor mosaic found in the House of Bacchus and Ariadne in Ostia Antica, Italy. Dating back to the 1st-2nd centuries A.C., this Roman artwork depicts a scene filled with mythological symbolism.
In the center of the mosaic, we see Bacchus, the god of wine, standing alongside his wife Ariadne. The couple is surrounded by figures representing love and lust - Eros and Pan engaged in a fierce struggle, with an old Silenus acting as referee.
The level of detail in this ancient artwork is truly remarkable, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of Roman artists from that time period. Each tesserae (small tile) has been carefully placed to create a dynamic composition that tells a story of passion and conflict.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to ancient Rome, where art served as a means of expressing complex emotions and narratives. The House of Bacchus and Ariadne remains a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Italy's archaeological sites like Ostia Antica.
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online allows us to appreciate the beauty and historical significance of Roman artistry, reminding us of the enduring legacy left behind by these talented craftsmen.
