EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate Asarotos Oikos mosaic, a Roman copy of the original Hellenistic artwork created by Sosos of Pergamon. Dating back to the 2nd century A. D. , this ancient masterpiece was discovered in Vigna Lupi, Rome, Italy. The mosaic depicts an unswept room, known as "asarotos oikos" where a tiny mouse can be seen feasting on leftover food remains scattered across the floor. The attention to detail and precision in this artwork is truly remarkable. As we delve into history through this image, we are transported to ancient Rome during its glorious civilization. This vertical composition highlights a large group of objects and emphasizes one animal - the mischievous mouse stealing away with its meal. Through themes of animals and food and drink, this mosaic captures daily life in ancient times while also showcasing artistic craftsmanship at its finest. The repetition of patterns adds depth and visual interest to the scene. Although devoid of people, this illustration and painting speak volumes about human existence in the past. It serves as a reminder that even mundane aspects like leftovers have played significant roles throughout history. With archeological significance and cultural importance, this print from Universal Images Group (UIG) offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but forever preserved through artistry and archaeology.
