EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing mosaic titled "Virgil (Virgilio) and two muses (Clio and Melpomene)" dating back to the beginning of the 3rd century. The artwork, housed in the Musee du Bardo in Tunis, Tunisia, beautifully captures the essence of Virgil's poetic genius. In this ancient masterpiece, we see Virgil surrounded by two muses - Clio and Melpomene. As one of Rome's greatest poets, Virgil is depicted with an air of wisdom and contemplation. His gaze seems fixed on something beyond our sight, perhaps seeking inspiration from his divine companions. Clio, the muse of history and heroic poetry, stands beside him holding a scroll symbolizing knowledge and recording great deeds for posterity. On the other side stands Melpomene, muse of tragedy. Her presence adds depth to this scene as she holds a tragic mask representing her influence over dramatic works. The intricate details within this mosaic are truly awe-inspiring. Each delicate tile forms a harmonious blend of colors that bring life to these mythical figures. This artistic creation not only pays homage to Virgil but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of Greek literature. Luisa Ricciarini has masterfully captured this ancient artwork through her lens while preserving its timeless beauty for all generations to appreciate. Through this photograph print, we can immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of antiquity and marvel at how art continues
