EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient fresco "Galatea, with a fan, and Polyphemus" from Pompeii, dating back to 60-80 AD. The artwork, measuring 59x65 cm, is housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Italy. Painted by an anonymous Roman artist during the first century AD, this mural depicts a scene from classical mythology. In the foreground of the painting stands Galatea, a Nereid identifiable by her leaf-shaped fan. She exudes grace and beauty as she gazes into the distance. Behind her looms Polyphemus, a menacing cyclops from Greek mythology. His single eye stares intensely at Galatea with both fascination and longing. The wall painting transports us back to ancient Rome's vibrant city of Pompeii before its tragic destruction by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. It offers us a glimpse into their rich culture and beliefs through mythological narratives depicted on their walls. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures this timeless masterpiece through her lens while preserving its historical significance for future generations to appreciate. This photograph allows art enthusiasts worldwide to admire the intricate details and artistic techniques employed by Roman painters over two millennia ago. As we delve into this mesmerizing image filled with symbolism and emotion, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with myths that continue to inspire artists across centuries.
