EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable mosaic from the 2nd century B. C. , depicting a scene from Menander's comedy, The Possessed Girl. Located in Italy, Campania, Pompeii, within the Villa of Cicero, this intricate artwork measures 43x41 cm and offers an intriguing glimpse into ancient Roman civilization. The detailed mosaic focuses on itinerant musicians who play a significant role in the comedic narrative. With its vertical composition and vibrant colors, this piece transports viewers back to a bygone era filled with music and laughter. The tambourine-wielding musician takes center stage as he captivates his audience with lively tunes. Within the confines of Pompeii's historic walls, this archaeological artifact serves as a testament to the performing arts events that once graced these ancient stages. It evokes images of theatrical performances during the Republican Age when actors donned period costumes to entertain audiences indoors. As we admire this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage preserved within Villa Cicero. This photograph is not intended for commercial use but rather invites us to appreciate the artistry and significance behind each brushstroke that brings this mosaic to life. Let us immerse ourselves in its beauty and marvel at how it continues to transcend time, connecting us with our past through visual storytelling.
