EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph showcases a remarkable Roman mosaic that brings to life the mythical tale of Orpheus and his enchanting music. Displayed in the prestigious Salone dei Mosaici at the Regional Archaeological Museum in Palermo, this artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient civilizations. Dating back to approximately the 1st century AD, this intricate mosaic depicts Orpheus playing his lyre amidst a mesmerized audience of animals. The artist skillfully portrays various creatures including snakes, reptiles, vertebrates, peacocks, birds like flamingos and ostriches, as well as terrestrial mammals such as horses and deer. Each animal seems captivated by Orpheus' melodious tunes. The mosaic not only showcases these diverse fauna but also incorporates natural elements like rocks and geomorphological features. It immerses viewers into an ancient world where mythology intertwines with nature's beauty. Orpheus himself is depicted in period costume with meticulous attention to detail – from his clothing and footwear to accessories like his lyre. As a male figure from Greek mythology renowned for his musical prowess, he symbolizes artistic expression and creativity throughout Europe's ancient civilization. This photograph was captured between 1915-1920 by Alinari Fratelli – esteemed photographers known for their documentation of historical artworks.
