EDITORS COMMENTS
Discovered in the Swiss town of Yverdon-les-Bains, near Orbe, this exquisite antique Roman mosaic dates back to ancient times, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Roman civilization that once thrived in this region. The intricately designed mosaic, which is now housed in a museum, depicts a man playing a lyre, surrounded by various animals, including a horse, lion, and birds. This image, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the daily life and artistic sensibilities of the ancient Romans. The mosaic, which is believed to have been created during the 1st or 2nd century AD, is set against a backdrop of a thatched roof house, reminiscent of the traditional farmhouses found in the Swiss countryside during the 18th century. The image is a stunning representation of the fusion of Roman and local influences that characterized the region during this period. This hand-colored copperplate engraving by Migliavacca, from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1837, provides a detailed and accurate representation of the mosaic. The engraving, which is a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the time, offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical fashion and artistic sensibilities of the 19th century. The mosaic and the engraving serve as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that lies beneath the surface of the Swiss landscape, waiting to be discovered and appreciated by generations to come.
