EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite fresco titled "Cupids playing hide and seek" from the 1st century AD. Created by a Roman artist, this artwork can be found in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Campania, Italy. The fresco depicts a delightful scene of childlike Cupids engaged in a playful game of hide and seek. The intricate details of this ancient masterpiece come to life through Luisa Ricciarini's lens. The vibrant colors and skillful brushwork transport us back to the glory days of the Roman Empire. Each cupid is meticulously painted, their angelic features beautifully captured. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the timeless allure of mythology and its influence on art throughout history. These mythological characters symbolize love and desire, represented here by Eros or Cupid. The hidden faces add an air of mystery to the composition while nudity highlights the innocence and purity associated with these celestial beings. This piece captures not only their physical beauty but also their mischievous spirit as they engage in this age-old game. Through this photograph, Luisa Ricciarini invites us into a world where angels play games just like children do. It serves as a testament to both human creativity and our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations such as Rome.
