| 説明 | Mosaic floor depicting a deer hunt framed by plant and geometrical motifs. The mosaic adorned a small symposium hall. The main scene, which probably reproduces an existent prototype from a large scale painting, shows two youths who have already captured the animals and are about to kill it The two characters could be identified, probably, as Alexander the Great (left), and Hephaestion, his boyhood friend. The artist introduces a new technique with the use of small pebbles closely spaced in order to render the plasticity of the bodies, while he ménages to create a three-dimensional feeling by applying rich chromatic gradations and strong chiaroscuro. His signature preserved above the figures , ΦΝΩΣΙΣ ΕΡΟΗΣΕΝ (Gnosis made it), is the oldest inscription mentioning a mosaicist’s name known so far.Source: Museum noticePebble mosaicArtist’ signature: Gnosis320 – 300 BCFrom “The House of the Abduction of Helen”, PellaPella, Archaeological Museum |
