EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning mosaic titled "Virgil and the Muses" from Sousse (Hadrumetum), created by Roman artists in the 3rd century AD. The artwork, measuring 122x122.5 cm, is currently housed at the Musee National du Bardo in Le Bardo, Tunisia. In this masterpiece, we witness Virgil, one of ancient Rome's most celebrated poets and writers (70-19 BC), surrounded by the enchanting Muses. Standing tall and proud, Virgil appears deeply engrossed in conversation with Clio – the muse of historic and heroic poetry. As he engages with her, his face exudes wisdom and inspiration. The mosaic also features Melpomene, muse of tragedy, who stands gracefully beside him. Her presence adds an air of melancholy to the scene but also signifies Virgil's profound ability to evoke emotions through his literary works. This extraordinary piece not only pays homage to Virgil's immense talent but also highlights his significant contributions to Latin literature. Through his renowned epic poem "Aeneid" he immortalized himself as a master storyteller whose words continue to captivate readers even today. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of the timeless power that art holds – transcending centuries and bringing us closer to great minds like Virgil who shaped our cultural heritage through their written words.
