EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient Roman central baths of Herculaneum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in Campania, Italy. The image showcases the exquisite mosaic floor of the tepidarium, depicting Triton, the mythical sea god, surrounded by a playful pod of dolphins. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, our eyes are drawn to an array of marine creatures such as octopuses and squids intricately woven into the design. A cherub wielding a whip adds an unexpected touch to this underwater scene. The attention to detail and craftsmanship evident in this mosaic is awe-inspiring. Each tile meticulously placed brings forth a vivid representation of life beneath the waves during ancient times. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns speak volumes about the rich history and cultural significance that permeates every corner of Italy. Stepping into this building interior through photography allows us to immerse ourselves in a world long gone but forever preserved within these archaeological sites. It serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and artistic prowess possessed by those who came before us. As we explore Europe's travel destinations, let us not forget to marvel at these remnants from ancient civilizations like Herculaneum's mosaics that continue to captivate our imaginations centuries later. This print by Peter Barritt/Robert Harding beautifully captures both the grandeur and delicacy present within this extraordinary piece of artistry.
