EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite marble painting, discovered in Resina in May 1786, depicts a tranquil scene of Roman goddesses Latona, Niobe, Phoebe, Aglaia, and Hileaera. Latona, the goddess of childbirth and motherhood, is shown seated on a majestic throne, holding a cup in one hand and a small statue of her son, Apollo, in the other. Niobe, a queen renowned for her boastfulness about her many children, is pictured mourning the deaths of her sons and daughters, who were punished by the gods for her hubris. Phoebe, the goddess of the moon and the protector of women and children, is seen standing beside Latona, offering her comfort. The youngest of the three Graces, Aglaia, and Hileaera, are engaged in a playful game of astragali or knucklebones, symbolizing the joy and beauty that contrasts the sorrowful scene of Niobe. The painting, a masterpiece of Hellenistic art, was meticulously copied by Tommaso Piroli in 1789 for his publication "Antichita di Ercolano" (Antiquities of Herculaneum), providing a precious record of the classical world for future generations. The intricate details and the harmonious composition of the painting continue to captivate art lovers and historians, offering a glimpse into the mythology, culture, and artistic achievements of ancient Rome.
