EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the Nile mosaic, found in the prestigious Colonna-Barberini Palace in Palestrina. The image focuses on the left corner of the mosaic, where an array of animals come to life amidst intricate Roman artistry. Dating back to approximately the 1st century AD, this remarkable artwork is a testament to Europe's ancient civilization. The photograph itself was captured around 1890, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. In this particular section of the mosaic, we are treated to a visual feast of nature's wonders. Various creatures grace the scene - from reptiles like snakes and other vertebrates, to birds soaring through the sky. A mischievous monkey adds an element of playfulness while terrestrial mammals roam nearby. The composition skillfully combines natural elements such as rocks and geomorphological features with human activities. A hunter can be seen wielding an arch as his instrument for hunting amidst this vibrant tableau. This representation not only captures a moment in time but also provides insight into ancient work and vocation practices. Additionally, one cannot overlook the presence of crests and emblems scattered throughout this still life depiction. These symbols serve as reminders of noble lineage or perhaps even act as branding for prominent families during that era. Anderson's photographic expertise has allowed us to delve into this extraordinary piece from Palestrina Mosaic Roman Art collection without commercial intentions but rather with sheer admiration for its cultural value.
