EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Roman art: the "Narcissus". Fresco from Pompei, housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples. Created by an unknown Roman artist during the 1st century AD, this fresco depicts the mythological character Narcissus. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this ancient painting are beautifully preserved, offering us a glimpse into the artistic prowess of the Roman Empire. The scene portrays Narcissus gazing at his own reflection in a pool of water, captivated by his own beauty. This mythical figure has become synonymous with vanity and self-obsession. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back to ancient Rome, where paganism and polytheism were prevalent religious beliefs. The fresco's subject matter reflects these cultural influences and serves as a testament to the rich mythology that shaped Roman society. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures every nuance of this masterpiece through her lens, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur even if we cannot witness it firsthand. Her dedication to preserving history is evident in her work. This print not only celebrates Roman art but also invites contemplation on themes such as beauty, self-reflection, and spirituality. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these timeless subjects continue to resonate with audiences around the world.
