EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the ancient city of Volubilis in Morocco, where the rich history of the Roman Empire comes alive. The Labours of Hercules house is adorned with a mesmerizing mosaic depicting one of Hercules' heroic feats - his destruction of the Stymphalian birds. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this mosaic are truly awe-inspiring. The strength and power exuded by Hercules as he wields his bow and arrow against these mythical creatures is palpable. This artwork beautifully captures the essence of Greek mythology, blending it seamlessly with Roman influence. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at the skill and craftsmanship that went into creating such a masterpiece. Each tile meticulously placed to form a harmonious composition that tells an epic tale. Volubilis itself holds great significance as a UNESCO World Heritage site, preserving remnants from its Roman past dating back to the 1st century AD. This particular mosaic serves as a testament to both human creativity and historical preservation. Though devoid of people in this snapshot, it reminds us that art has always been an integral part of our existence - allowing us to connect with stories from centuries ago. It's through images like these that we can appreciate not only the beauty within them but also gain insight into cultures long gone. This photograph by DEA / G. DAGLI ORTI UIG, courtesy of Universal Images Group (UIG), offers us a glimpse into an ancient world filled with mythological wonders and artistic brilliance
