EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless mythological scene of Diana and Actaeon, beautifully preserved on the floor of The House of Venus procession in Volubilis, Morocco. Dating back to the 3rd century AD, this Roman mosaic showcases the legendary encounter between a Greek hero and the goddess herself. Intriguingly depicted with intricate tiles and tesserae, this decorative flooring transports us into a world where mortals dare not tread. As we gaze upon it, we witness Diana's surprise as she is caught bathing by Actaeon. The nymphs surrounding her are frozen in their graceful poses, adding an ethereal touch to this ancient masterpiece. The composition exudes both power and vulnerability; Diana's divine beauty juxtaposed against Actaeon's mortal presence creates a tension that captivates our imagination. This mosaic tells a story of forbidden curiosity punished by fate – for Actaeon will soon face dire consequences for witnessing such sacred nudity. Gerard Degeorge has skillfully captured every detail of this magnificent artwork through his lens, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance even from afar. As we contemplate this image, we are reminded of the enduring allure of mythology and how art can transcend time itself.
