EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Roman wall-painting of a mythical landscape, believed to date back to the 1st century. This exquisite piece of art was discovered in the villa of Agrippa Posthumous near Pompeii and is now proudly displayed in the National Museums collection in Naples, Italy. The painting depicts a mesmerizing scene where nature and civilization seamlessly intertwine. The lush greenery surrounds an ancient city on the outskirts, with magnificent buildings rising against the backdrop of towering trees. In this idyllic setting, people go about their daily lives while animals roam freely. Amidst this harmonious blend of man-made structures and natural beauty, a goat stands gracefully as if guarding its surroundings. Its presence adds an element of tranquility to this vibrant artwork that bursts with color and life. This artifact not only offers us a glimpse into the artistic prowess of ancient civilizations but also serves as a testament to their deep connection with nature. It reminds us that even centuries ago, humans sought solace in creating landscapes that mirrored their own desires for harmony and serenity. As we admire this masterpiece captured by CM Dixon's lens, let us appreciate how it transports us back in time while reminding us of our timeless fascination with both myth and reality.
