EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Owen Jones Pompeian 24," showcases an exquisite collection of historical designs derived from various pilasters and friezes discovered in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. The renowned British architect and designer, Owen Jones, meticulously compiled these organic and decorative motifs during his travels to Italy in the late 19th century. The print is a visual feast for the eyes, with its intricate details and rich history. At the center, a majestic horse is depicted in high relief, its muscles taut and powerful. Surrounding the horse are an array of pilasters, their ornate capitals adorned with the faces of gods and mythological creatures, as well as intricate leaf designs. The upper portion of the print is dominated by a frieze, featuring a procession of lions and other mythological figures. Their faces are expressive and full of life, their bodies rendered with a level of detail that brings them to life. The borders of the print are equally impressive, with intricate patterns of leaves and other organic forms. The organic nature of the designs is a testament to the artistic sensibilities of the ancient Romans, whose appreciation for the natural world is evident in their architecture and decorative arts. Jones' meticulous documentation of these designs has allowed us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of Pompeian art, even as the city itself remains buried beneath the ash and pumice of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. This print is not only a beautiful work of art in its own right, but also a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of ancient Rome. The intricacy and detail of the designs are a testament to the skill and artistry of the ancient Roman craftsmen, and serve as a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture the imagination and inspire awe.
