Summary
[edit]DescriptionEast side of the House of the Abduction of Helen, probably an antichamber, decorated with a pebble mosaic floor depicting a battle of Greeks and Amazon (Amazonomachy), Ancient Pella (7059912891).jpg |
The main scene is enclosed by two broad bands of wild boars and panthers, palmettes and lotus flowers. The central scene is framed by a spiral fret pattern and a broad band with an opulent floral decoration. The arrangement of the figures creates perspectives depths that, together with the strong shading give an impression of the three-dimensionality. Other characteristic features of this composition are the realism with which the scene is rendered and the sumptuous gradations of colour. The artist's signature appears abouve the figures GNOSIS MADE THIS. Gnosis was the first mosaicist to sign his works.
