EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fresco titled "Cupids Working" dating back to the 1st century AD. Created by an anonymous Roman artist, this masterpiece can be found in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Campania, Italy. The artwork depicts a scene from ancient mythology where numerous cupids are engaged in various tasks. The fresco is executed in the distinctive style of Pompeii and Herculaneum, known as the 4th Pompeian style. This particular piece was discovered at Ercolano (Herculanum) and represents Roman art at its finest. The image captures the innocence and charm of these mythological characters with their angelic features and playful demeanor. Despite their nudity, they exude a sense of purity that transcends time. Each cupid is seen diligently working on different activities such as pottery making or tending to plants. This portrayal emphasizes not only their mischievous nature but also highlights their role as laborers within ancient Roman society. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this extraordinary fresco while preserving its historical significance for generations to come. This print serves as a testament to the enduring beauty of ancient Roman art and invites viewers into a world filled with enchantment and wonder.
