This print takes us back in time to the ancient Roman town of Herculaneum, frozen in a moment just before its tragic destruction by Mount Vesuvius in 79AD. The House of Neptune and Amphitrite stands proudly, showcasing the grandeur and opulence of this once-thriving civilization. As we gaze upon this UNESCO World Heritage Site, located near Naples in Campania, Italy, we are transported to an era filled with rich history and archaeological wonders. The mosaic artwork adorning the house's walls tells stories of gods and goddesses from Roman mythology, particularly focusing on Neptune and Amphitrite - deities associated with water. The vibrant colors captured by Ethel Davies/Robert Harding bring life to these ancient ruins. This horizontal image allows us to appreciate the sheer size and intricate details that have survived through centuries.
