EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Roman mosaic from the 3rd century, featuring yoked oxen. The intricate artwork is housed in the prestigious Bardo Museum in Tunisia, offering visitors a glimpse into ancient Roman civilization. The mosaic depicts two majestic brown oxen harnessed together with an elaborate yoke. Their powerful presence and meticulous detailing make them appear almost lifelike. Each strand of their coarse hair and every muscle on their bodies is meticulously crafted, showcasing the incredible skill of the artist. The color palette used in this masterpiece adds depth and realism to the scene. Shades of brown dominate, capturing the essence of these working animals while also reflecting the earthy tones prevalent during that era. As an artifact from ancient Rome, this mosaic represents not only artistic excellence but also provides valuable insights into daily life at that time. Oxen were crucial for agricultural work and transportation, making them indispensable companions to farmers and traders alike. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon's expertise, this photograph beautifully captures every detail of this historical treasure. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries while reminding us of our deep connection with animals as essential partners in shaping our world.
