EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing fresco that takes us back to the ancient Roman civilization. The artwork depicts Io, a prominent figure in Greek mythology, seeking solace at Canopus in Egypt while being consoled by the goddess Isis. Preserved within the House of Duke d Aumale in Pompei, Italy, this remarkable piece of antiquity offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of our past. The scene unfolds with Io standing three-quarter length amidst an array of five individuals and one animal - a crocodile. This illustration and painting perfectly captures the essence of ancient civilisation, where only men were present alongside this mystical creature. The horizontal composition adds depth to the image as it transports us into another era. Painted during the 1st century AD, this archaeological artifact is now housed within a museum where its significance can be appreciated by all who behold it. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this painted image, allowing us to immerse ourselves in its narrative. Intriguingly, amidst this meeting between mortals and gods lies a handshake - symbolizing unity or perhaps even an exchange of power. It serves as a reminder that even across time and cultures, human connections remain fundamental. As we gaze upon this extraordinary fresco from Universal Images Group (UIG), let us marvel at how art has preserved moments from history for generations to come – reminding us of our shared past and inspiring future endeavors beyond commercial use.
