EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the painted ceiling decoration in the Stasovsky Crypt, located in the Cimmerian Bosporus region of Kerch, South Russia. Dating back to the 1st half of the 2nd century A. D. , this crypt was discovered by Russian art critic and scholar V. V. Stasov in 1872. The Cimmerian Bosporus, known as the Strait of Kerch today, holds immense historical significance as one of the major centers for Greek colonization along the Northern coast of the Black Sea. The paintings found within this ancient crypt exhibit a fascinating combination of two distinct styles: an earlier technique called inlay and a later floral design. This particular image is taken from "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of XIXth Century" accompanied by explanatory text written by Helmuth Bossert. Published by Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. Berlin in 1928, it offers a glimpse into not only architectural features but also interior decorations prevalent during that era. The intricate frescoes adorning this burial chamber reflect both geometric patterns and vibrant colors, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. This photograph serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations and their artistic legacies. Through this image, we are transported back in time to appreciate an archaeological treasure nestled within Crimea's breathtaking landscapes—a reminder that even after centuries have passed, human creativity continues to inspire awe and wonderment.
