EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Winged Satyr" fresco, originally from Ercolano and now preserved in the prestigious National Archaeological Museum in Naples. The mural painting, dating back to the Imperial Period of Roman Art (40-79 AD), is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe's ancient civilization. The artwork depicts a mesmerizing scene filled with symbolism and allegory. In this representation, we witness a male figure, a satyr - a minor divinity from mythology - adorned with wings. His nude and human body exudes strength and grace as he stands alongside a female companion. Together, they embody an abstract concept of beauty and harmony. As our eyes explore every detail of this masterpiece, we notice various elements that add depth to its meaning. A cornucopia symbolizes abundance and prosperity while an instrument suggests music as an expression of joy. These objects further enhance the overall narrative woven into this remarkable piece of Roman art. Photographed around 1930 by Alinari Fratelli, this image captures not only the physical essence but also the historical significance embedded within these ancient walls. It serves as a visual portal through time, allowing us to connect with past civilizations and appreciate their artistic achievements. The "Winged Satyr" fresco invites contemplation on themes such as mythology, divinity, humanity, and even gender dynamics prevalent during that era. Its preservation at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples ensures that future generations can marvel at its splendor while gaining insights into Greco-Roman culture. Alinari's photograph immortalizes this extraordinary artwork for all enthusiasts of history and art alike to admire its timeless beauty beyond commercial use or any specific company affiliation
