EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to ancient Italy, specifically Castellammare di Stabia, where a remarkable fresco depicting Neptune and Amymone riding a majestic sea horse was discovered. Dating back to the 1st century A. D. , this incredible piece of Roman art was found at Villa Carmiano and is now housed in the Archaeological Museum's antiquarium stabiano. The image showcases the mythical figures of Neptune, the god of the sea, and Amymone, a nymph from Greek mythology. They are depicted gracefully riding atop a magnificent sea horse, symbolizing their connection with the oceanic realm. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this classical mythology character to life. As we admire this painted masterpiece, it is impossible not to marvel at its historical significance. It provides us with valuable insights into ancient religion and beliefs held by Romans during that era. This artifact serves as a testament to their reverence for gods like Neptune and their fascination with mythological tales. The composition of four people - two men and two women - accompanied by one animal creates an engaging narrative within this artwork. The horizontal orientation allows us to appreciate every brushstroke that brings forth these characters' emotions and expressions. This print offers an immersive experience into ancient civilization while highlighting the beauty of Roman artistry. It reminds us of our rich history intertwined with mythology, leaving us captivated by its timeless allure.
