EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of Cassandra, the mythological character, prophesying the fall of Troy to her father Priam and brother Paris. Painted in a stunning fresco style by Roman artists during the 1st century AD, this artwork is now housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Italy. In the center of the composition stands Cassandra herself, pulling spells with her right hand as she foretells Troy's impending doom. Her expression is intense and filled with conviction as she warns her family members about their fate. To her left sits Priam, their father, his face etched with concern and disbelief at his daughter's prophecy. Meanwhile, Paris holds the infamous apple of Discord in one hand while leaning on a spear with another warrior beside him - possibly Hector. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this ancient tale to life once again. The artist Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured both the human emotions and mythical elements within this piece. It serves as a powerful reminder of how art can transcend time and continue to captivate audiences centuries later. This print not only showcases Roman artistic mastery but also invites viewers into a world steeped in Greek mythology and epic tales of war. It is an exquisite addition to any collection that appreciates classical artistry intertwined with timeless storytelling.
