EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fresco from the House of the Physician in Pompeii, dating back to the 1st century A. D. The artwork depicts a stunning Nilotic landscape teeming with pygmies and exotic wildlife. In this particular detail, we witness an intense moment as a ferocious hippopotamus sets its sights on devouring one of the pygmies. The scene transports us to ancient Italy, where Roman civilization flourished alongside influences from distant lands like Egypt's Nile River. The artist skillfully captures the tension between man and nature, highlighting the raw power of these majestic creatures. The composition is rich in historical significance, offering insights into life during that era. As we observe closely, we can discern intricate details such as a boat navigating through calm waters and towering trees providing shade along the riverbank. Crocodiles lurk nearby, adding an element of danger to this already mesmerizing tableau. This artful creation serves as a testament to human creativity and imagination throughout history. It reminds us of our fascination with exploring new territories and encountering unfamiliar species. Through this photo print, we are granted a glimpse into ancient Rome's cultural tapestry while marveling at its artistic prowess
