EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Mosaic of the Chresis from Daphne, a remarkable piece of art dating back to the 4th century AD. Housed in the Hatay Archaeology Museum in Antioch, Hatay province, Southwest Turkey, this mosaic is a testament to the rich heritage and history of Anatolia. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details and vibrant colors that adorn this ornate masterpiece. The creativity behind its design is evident as we marvel at each tile meticulously placed to form an exquisite pattern. As we gaze upon this mosaic, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in the cultural tapestry of ancient Antioch. The absence of people in this image adds an air of mystery and invites us to contemplate what life was like during that era. The female likeness depicted on the mosaic's surface is traditionally Turkish, wearing traditional clothing that further emphasizes its connection to Anatolian culture. This artwork serves as a visual representation of how art has been used throughout history as a means for storytelling and preserving traditions. Captured by photographers Gabrielle & Michel Therin-Weise/Robert Harding with great skill and attention to detail, this photograph truly captures not only the beauty but also the significance of this historical artifact. It serves as a reminder that even today, centuries later, we can still be captivated by glimpses into our past through art and archaeology.
