EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Mosaic of Orpheus Taming the Animals" from the 2nd-3rd century. Displayed at the Bardo Museum in Tunisia, this remarkable piece of art is a testament to both ancient Roman craftsmanship and religious symbolism. In this mosaic, we witness Orpheus, a mythical figure known for his musical talents and connection with animals. With his lyre in hand, he effortlessly tames an assortment of creatures surrounding him. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to each animal depicted, highlighting their individuality while harmoniously coexisting under Orpheus' spellbinding music. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its religious connotations. Orpheus was revered as a deity by many Romans due to his ability to communicate with gods through his enchanting melodies. This mosaic serves as a visual representation of devotion towards this godly figure and emphasizes the power that music holds within Roman culture. As we gaze upon this artifact, we are transported back centuries ago when Rome flourished as an epicenter for arts and religion. It reminds us of the rich history embedded within every brushstroke or tile used to create such masterpieces. Thanks to photographers like CM Dixon who captured these moments in time during the 20th century, we can now appreciate these treasures even if we cannot physically visit them ourselves.
