EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Roman mosaic depicting the Charioteer, also known as Eros, dating back to the 2nd-3rd century. In Greek mythology, Eros was revered as the god of sexual attraction, while his Roman counterpart was Cupid, representing desire. This exquisite artwork can be found at the Bardo Museum in Tunis. The image captures a moment frozen in time - a male figure holding onto reins tightly with one hand and grasping a whip with the other. He stands confidently atop a chariot pulled by magnificent horses. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this ancient artifact bring it to life once again. Transportation and animals play significant roles in this scene; they symbolize power and movement within ancient Roman society. The mosaic's location on the floor further emphasizes its historical significance. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported back to an era where myths and legends intertwined with everyday life. It serves as a testament to human creativity and artistic expression throughout history. Mike Dixon expertly captured this photograph without any commercial intentions but rather out of sheer appreciation for cultural heritage. Through his lens, he allows us to marvel at this extraordinary piece of art that has stood the test of time for centuries.
