EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient Roman fresco titled "Jason and Pelias" from the House of Jason, or of the Fatal Loves in Pompeii. Created during the 1st century AD, this remarkable piece stands at a height of 190 cm and is now housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Italy. The mural depicts a pivotal moment from Greek mythology where Jason confronts Pelias, ruler of Iolcus. In order to reclaim his rightful throne, Jason embarks on a treacherous journey with his crew known as the Argonauts. The scene showcases Pelias' daughters presenting him with a bull for sacrifice while Medea, daughter of King Aeëtes and future lover of Jason, observes from afar. Executed in the third style characteristic of Pompeiian artistry, this fresco exemplifies exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. The vibrant colors and intricate brushwork transport viewers back to ancient Rome's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded not only of its artistic significance but also its historical importance. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by one of history's greatest civilizations – an empire that shaped Western culture as we know it today.
