EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time from the ancient city of Pompeii. Titled "Pygmies Hunting, from the Casa del Dottore (House of the Doctor)" this Roman fresco dates back to around 50-79 AD and measures an impressive 126x74 cm. Housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Italy, it offers a glimpse into the artistic prowess and cultural interests of its time. The scene depicted showcases a fierce combat between pygmies and various animals, including a hippopotamus and crocodile. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of the Nile River landscape, this painting transports viewers to an exotic world where human hunters face off against formidable creatures. The attention to detail is remarkable as every stroke brings life to each character and creature portrayed. The artist's skillful use of color adds depth and realism to this ancient masterpiece. As we gaze upon this image captured by A© Raffaello Bencini, we are reminded of Pompeii's tragic fate - buried under layers of volcanic ash until its rediscovery centuries later. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with nature's untamed beauty.
