EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable mosaic artwork from the 4th century AD, known as "Mosaic. c. 325-350". The piece is housed in the prestigious Musei Capitolini in Rome, Italy, and represents an exquisite example of Roman craftsmanship. The mosaic depicts a thrilling scene of nature's raw power and primal instincts. A young wild cat, possibly a tiger, is shown attacking its prey - a cow from a nearby farm. The intensity of the moment is palpable as the predator lunges towards its meal with ferocious determination. This artwork not only highlights the artistic prowess of ancient Romans but also offers insight into their relationship with wildlife and hunting practices during that era. It serves as a reminder of how humans have long relied on animals for sustenance and survival. The composition beautifully captures the contrast between civilization and untamed wilderness, symbolized by the juxtaposition of domesticated farm animals against their predatory counterparts. It prompts us to reflect on our place within this delicate balance between man-made structures and nature's inherent savagery. As we admire this masterpiece through Frank Buffetrille's lens, it sparks contemplation about our own connection to food supply chains throughout history and invites us to appreciate both artistry and historical context intertwined within this stunning mosaic from ancient Rome.
