EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient city of Volubilis, located north of Meknes in Morocco. The House of Cavalier comes alive with vibrant colors and intricate details as we focus on a mesmerizing mosaic depicting Dionysus finding the sleeping Ariadne. Our attention is immediately drawn to the detail of Dionysus' head adorned with an ivy crown, symbolizing his association with wine, revelry, and fertility. The Roman Empire's influence during the 1st century AD is evident in this remarkable artwork. It showcases the mastery of mosaic craftsmanship that was prevalent during that era. This particular piece stands as a testament to both artistic skill and religious significance. The UNESCO World Heritage List recognized Volubilis in 1997 for its historical importance and preservation efforts. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a world where ancient religions held great sway over people's lives. Although devoid of any human presence, this print captures the essence of male likeness through Dionysus' portrait. The laurel wreath adorning his head signifies victory or honor while adding an element of elegance to his depiction. In summary, this extraordinary print offers us a glimpse into Morocco's rich history and cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with mythology and religion throughout different civilizations across time.
