EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fresco depicting the legendary Hercules as he embarks on a poignant journey to find his son Telephus in Arcadia. The artwork, originating from the Basilica of Ercolano in Naples province, Italy, offers an intriguing glimpse into Roman civilization and its rich mythology. Against a pristine white background, this full-length fresco portrays Hercules adorned in an ancient robe, symbolizing his heroic status. With great tenderness and determination etched upon his face, he stands alongside his son – a testament to the enduring bond between father and child. Surrounded by awe-inspiring antiquities and set amidst the stunning landscape of Arcadia, this painting captures the essence of heroism and familial love. A majestic lion accompanies them, representing Hercules' divine lineage as the son of Zeus. Meanwhile, a graceful deer gracefully grazes nearby while an elegant bird soars through the sky above – alluding to nature's harmonious presence within this ancient tale. Dating back to approximately the 1st century during Rome's imperial age, this archaeological artifact holds immense historical significance. It serves as both an illustration of artistic mastery and a window into life during that time period. With five individuals depicted in total – including one parent with their child – this artwork evokes feelings of unity and kinship across generations. It transports us back to "the past" where heroes roamed freely among men; where myths were woven into everyday life; where art immortalized stories for eternity.
