EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fresco from the ancient Roman civilization, specifically from Italy's Ostia region. The scene depicted is none other than the tragic tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, measuring an impressive 50x154 cm. Despite its age, this artwork still manages to evoke a sense of wonder and intrigue. The fresco itself portrays four individuals amidst a lush outdoor setting. Orpheus, known for his musical prowess, stands at the center with his lyre in hand while gazing longingly at his beloved Eurydice. Two nymphs flank them on either side, adding an ethereal touch to the composition. Although time has taken its toll on this piece of antiquity, leaving it somewhat damaged, one can still appreciate the skill and artistry that went into creating such intricate details. Even two animals are included in this tableau - perhaps domestic creatures that once roamed freely during those ancient times. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history's past, we are transported back to Imperial Rome during the Severus Age. It serves as a reminder of how classical mythology played an integral role in shaping society and culture during that era. This print is not just a mere illustration or painting; it represents our connection to an ancient world filled with stories and legends that continue to captivate us today.
