EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fresco from Pompeii, dating back to the 1st century AD. The artwork depicts an intriguing scene where Achilles, disguised as a woman, is recognized by Ulysses among the daughters of Lycomede on the island of Scyros. The dimensi ons of this piece are 145.5x137.5 cm and it can be found in the National Archaeological Museum in Naples. The artist skillfully captures the tension and drama of this momentous encounter between two legendary figures from Greek mythology. Achilles had concealed his true identity amongst women to avoid being drafted into the Trojan War, but Ulysses cleverly exposed him by presenting weapons for inspection. In addition to this mesmerizing fresco, another detail caught on camera reveals a violent struggle that took place between the people of Pompeii and Nocera within the walls of Pompeian amphitheater in 59 AD. This print not only offers us a glimpse into ancient Roman artistry but also serves as a reminder of how history has been preserved through archaeological discoveries like those made at Pompeii. It is truly fascinating to witness these moments frozen in time and appreciate their significance centuries later. Luisa Ricciarini's photography beautifully captures both the grandeur and intricacies present in these ancient artworks, allowing us to admire them even if we cannot physically visit these historical sites ourselves.
