EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring moment of Hercules conquering the mighty Cretan bull. Taken from the floor of The House of Hercules, a remarkable mosaic dating back to the 3rd century AD in Volubilis, Morocco, this artwork beautifully captures one of the twelve labours that made Hercules a legendary Greek hero. The intricate tiles and tesserae used to create this decorative flooring bring life to this mythological scene. In all his masculine glory, Hercules is depicted in his nakedness as he fearlessly subdues the powerful bull with sheer strength and determination. His muscular physique stands out against the vibrant backdrop, symbolizing his unwavering courage and indomitable spirit. As we gaze upon this masterpiece captured by Gerard Degeorge, we are transported into an ancient world where gods and heroes roamed freely. The attention to detail in every tile tells a story of triumph over adversity and serves as a reminder that even mythical beings faced challenges they had to overcome. Displayed in a triclinium or dining room within The House of Hercules, this mosaic would have undoubtedly captivated guests with its grandeur and artistic brilliance. Now preserved for eternity through Degeorge's lens, it continues to inspire us today with its depiction of bravery and perseverance. This print is not just an image; it is a testament to human resilience and our eternal fascination with mythology. It invites us to delve deeper into history while appreciating the beauty found within ancient art forms like m
