EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient Roman civilization of the 1st century A. D. The image showcases a mesmerizing Dionysiac scene with a Maenad, found in Italy's Campania region, specifically Pompeii. Created using opus sectile technique, this artwork measures 21x67 cm and offers a fascinating glimpse into history. The full-length depiction reveals an elegant female figure draped in a flowing robe, her gaze directed upwards as if seeking divine guidance. In her hands, she holds an object that hints at her connection to religious rituals or perhaps even the mysteries surrounding Dionysus himself. The setting is outdoors, adding to the authenticity of this archeological artifact. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on this remarkable representation of ancient art and craft. With bare feet and hair tied up in a ponytail, she exudes grace and poise while embodying the spirit of Bacchantes - followers of Dionysus known for their wild dancing and ecstatic celebrations. As we admire this piece from centuries ago, it serves as a reminder of our rich past and the cultural significance attached to religion during imperial times like those under Julius Claudius' reign. This photograph captures not only an exquisite moment frozen in time but also evokes curiosity about the dionysian mysteries that once captivated ancient Rome.
