EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of The House of Dionysus, one of the Roman domus in Ortaglia. The focus is on a mesmerizing mosaic floor that depicts the god Dionysus and his loyal companion, the panther. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable. Every tile meticulously placed to create a vibrant and lifelike representation of these mythological figures. Dionysus, known as Bacchus in Roman mythology, stands tall with an aura of divine power surrounding him. His flowing robes and wreath of grapevines symbolize his association with wine, revelry, and fertility. Beside him rests a majestic panther, its sleek form exuding strength and grace. This creature was often associated with Dionysus due to its ability to navigate both land and water effortlessly – just like the god himself. As we gaze upon this mosaic masterpiece captured by Ghigo Roli's lens, we are transported back in time to ancient Brescia in Italy. The House of Dionysus serves as a testament to the opulence and artistic prowess of the Romans during their reign. Now preserved within Museo di Santa Giulia, Museo della citta since 2011 (a UNESCO site), this artifact allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also delve into the rich mythology that shaped Roman culture. It reminds us how art can transcend time and continue enchanting viewers for centuries to come.
