EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing fresco on plaster, depicting the "Scene of the Elysium" as an homage to the departed child Octavia Paolina. Created during the Roman civilization in the 3rd century A. D. , this artwork measures 79x229 cm and originates from the Hypogeum of the Octavian family, located in Rome's Ottavia quarter. Against a striking black background, we are transported into an ancient world where myth and reality intertwine. In this heavenly scene, Mercury, with his wings gracefully spread wide, stands tall amidst a large group of people. The naked figures symbolize purity and vulnerability while they pick up delicate flowers that adorn their surroundings. The artist skillfully captures both beauty and sorrow in this piece. The rose-colored hues evoke emotions associated with love and loss while conveying a sense of tranquility within these ancient realms. This fresco not only serves as a testament to Octavia Paolina's memory but also offers insight into Roman beliefs surrounding death and afterlife. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration painting from late imperial age Rome, it becomes evident how art transcends time. It allows us to connect with our past by immersing ourselves in its rich history and religious symbolism. Let us cherish such antiquities that offer glimpses into forgotten worlds – reminding us of our shared humanity throughout different civilizations across millennia.
