EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient Roman fresco titled "Wedding of Zephyrus and goddess Chloris" believed to have been created between 45-79 AD. The artwork, currently housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Italy, depicts a significant moment in Roman mythology. In this detailed section of the fresco from Pompeii, we witness the divine wedding ceremony between Zephyrus, the god of the west wind, and Chloris, a nymph associated with flowers and springtime. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring to life this mythological event with vibrant colors and intricate details. The scene exudes an ethereal atmosphere as angels gracefully hover above the couple. Nudity is tastefully portrayed throughout the artwork as it was common during that era to depict gods and goddesses without clothing. This piece not only reflects Roman artistic techniques but also draws inspiration from Greek mythology. It serves as a testament to how ancient cultures intertwined their beliefs and stories through art. Luisa Ricciarini's photograph captures every nuance of this remarkable fresco while preserving its historical significance for generations to come. As we admire this masterpiece today, we are transported back in time to witness a celestial union that has captivated audiences for centuries.
