FLOOR MOSAIC IN THE HALL OF ARION, 320-350 CE, DETAIL. VILLA DEL CASALE, PIAZZA ARMERINA In a large apsidal hall of the Villa del Casale in central Sicily, the floor is covered with a seascape populated with marine wildlife and mythical figures, like the two characters in this detail. At the centre of the mosaic is the legendary musician Arion, who was mistreated by pirates and escaped on the back of a dolphin; this is a marine concert that metaphorically shows how culture can overcome wild nature. A matching floor mosaic in another hall shows Orpheus playing a concert for the beasts of the forest, so the two mosaics are making the same point. Here an Eros is holding up a sort of couch on which a nude Nereid is perched, lightly dressed with drapery over her thighs, but she did not neglect to put on a crown and plenty of jewellery. Priorities! She's accompanied by a triton carrying a large kantharos on his shoulders. At lower right is a sea leopard, another reference to Bacchus.

#MosaicMonday treats us to #LateAntiquity's richest #mosaic site, the #VilladelCasale at #PiazzaArmerina in #Sicily, where a marine concert is being played by #Arion while this jewel-bedecked #Nereid and an #ichthyocentaur listen, all activity halted by the spell of #music. #AncientBluesky 🏺

Inktober 52 Week 8: Pisces

For this one, I drew an ichthyocentaur, the creature that inspired the fish for the Pisces symbol in Greek myth. ♓🐟 #ichthyocentaur #inktober52 #inktober52pisces #greekmythology #traditionalart #fantasyart #zodiacsign #pisces #blackandwhiteart #artsky

Very old art but I still like it. 😊 Ichthyocentaur and his human lover.
