EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent mosaic work from Tunisia, Susa. The intricate artwork depicts the renowned poet Virgil, also known as Publius Vergilius Maro, engrossed in writing his epic masterpiece, the Aeneid. Sitting between the muses Clio and Melpomene, Virgil finds inspiration and guidance from these divine sources of creativity. The mosaic dates back to the 4th century A. D. , showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship of ancient Roman art. It is now housed in the prestigious Musee National Du Bardo in Tunis, where it continues to mesmerize visitors with its beauty and historical significance. In this vertical composition, we see Virgil seated while donning traditional costume attire that perfectly reflects ancient civilization. The picture frame captures every detail of this allegorical painting with precision. What makes this artwork truly exceptional is how it portrays both male and female likenesses through human representation. As one gazes upon this mosaic print, they are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment when literature meets artistry. While there are no people depicted within the image itself, their absence only enhances our appreciation for this timeless piece of history. This print serves as a testament to Virgil's enduring legacy and reminds us of his profound impact on ancient Rome's literary landscape.
