EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the ancient Roman civilization in Tunisia. The mosaic, dating back to the 3rd century A. D. , showcases a stunning array of fish and shellfish delicately arranged in a basket. Found in Hadrumetum, now known as Sousse, this artifact is a testament to the rich history and artistic craftsmanship of that era. The vertical composition of the mosaic allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of each animal theme depicted. From vibrant fish with their scales shimmering under sunlight to beautifully textured shellfish, this artwork offers a mesmerizing variation of colors and shapes. As we gaze upon this piece, it's impossible not to be reminded of the contrasts between ancient times and our modern world. This snapshot from the past serves as an exquisite reminder of how food has always played an essential role in human culture - even healthy eating was valued centuries ago. While there are no people present in this image, it evokes a sense of life teeming within its borders. The large group of animals represented here reminds us that wildlife has always been intertwined with human existence. This print captures not only art but also history itself – allowing us glimpses into an ancient civilization through its antiquities. It invites contemplation on how societies have evolved over time while appreciating timeless beauty preserved for generations to come.
