EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a masterpiece titled "A young woman with book and stylus (So-called Sappho)" created by the renowned Master of Herculaneum in the 1st century. The artwork, now housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli, Italy, transports us back to ancient Rome. The image portrays a young woman engrossed in her reading, holding a book and stylus delicately. Believed to be Sappho, the famous poetess from Lesbos known for her lyric poetry, this painting exudes an air of mystery and allure. Her presence evokes both mythology and literature as she immerses herself in words that have stood the test of time. The fresco captures not only Sappho's beauty but also reflects the artistic finesse of ancient Rome. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this timeless piece. It is fascinating to witness how art was cherished even during those distant times. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported to Pompeii where it was discovered—a city frozen in time due to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. This artifact serves as a reminder of our connection with history and our eternal fascination with storytelling through various forms of art. This print is more than just an aesthetic delight; it represents a profound exploration into ancient Roman culture while paying homage to one of its most celebrated figures – Sappho.
