EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient Roman fresco titled "Telephus suckled by the doe". Created in the 1st century AD, this remarkable artwork can be found at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Italy. The image depicts a mythological scene where Telephus, a mythological character from ancient Greece, is being nourished by a gentle doe. The artist, Luisa Ricciarini, beautifully captures the tender moment between child and animal. This fresco not only highlights the artistic prowess of Roman painters but also provides insight into their beliefs and customs. In this piece, we witness an enchanting blend of childhood innocence and pagan mythology. The significance of breastfeeding as a symbol of nurturing and sustenance is evident here. The fawn's act of feeding Telephus represents both physical nourishment and spiritual connection to nature. It serves as a reminder that even mythical beings require maternal care for their growth and survival. Through this photograph print, viewers are transported back to antiquity – to an era when art was intertwined with religion and daily life. It offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Campania region during ancient Rome. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful preservation of this masterpiece allows us to appreciate its beauty today while honoring its historical value.
