EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Owen Jones' Pompeian 25, a masterpiece of decorative art from the Collection of Mosaics from Pompeii and the Museum at Naples, dated 1868. The intricately designed mosaic, created over a thousand years ago, is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic vision of the ancient Roman world. The rectangular mosaic, measuring approximately 15 inches by 11 inches, is adorned with a myriad of geometric shapes and patterns. At its center, a circle is encircled by alternating checks and swirls, creating a mesmerizing visual effect. The circle is further embellished with intricate leaf motifs, adding a touch of organic beauty to the otherwise rigid geometric design. Owen Jones, a renowned British architect and designer, was deeply influenced by the classical art and architecture of ancient Rome. He traveled extensively through Europe and the Middle East, documenting and studying the art and architecture of various cultures. Upon his return to England, he applied the principles he learned to his own work, becoming a leading figure in the revival of the Neoclassical style. The Pompeian 25 mosaic, now in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, is just one of many treasures Jones discovered during his travels. This print provides a unique opportunity to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of this ancient art form, and to imagine the world of Pompeii and Naples that inspired it.
