EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite fresco of "Eros and Narcissus" from the 1st century AD. The artwork, located in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Italy, is a remarkable example of Roman art that depicts two mythological figures intertwined in an enchanting scene. In this detail of the larger fresco found at Pompei, we see Eros (Cupid) and Narcissus depicted against a backdrop of a serene lake. The artist skillfully captures their beauty and grace as they engage with each other. Eros, the mischievous god of love, appears to be gazing into Narcissus' eyes while holding a mirror-like object. Meanwhile, Narcissus himself is captivated by his own reflection - an allegory for self-obsession and vanity. The painting's vibrant colors and intricate details transport us back to ancient Rome, allowing us to appreciate the artistic prowess prevalent during that time period. It serves as a testament to both Roman mythology and culture. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this masterpiece through her lens, preserving its essence for generations to come. This photograph not only celebrates the rich history of ancient Rome but also highlights the enduring allure of classical art.
