Theater Mask On White
Inspired by famous frescoes of theater masks from Pompeii at the House of the Faun and House of the Tragic Poet, this highly-detailed mosaic brilliantly captures an actor’s look of tragedy. The mask looks up to the right with the mouth open in despair, surrounded by a scene of multi-colored fruits and flowers.
The worldwide known comedy and tragedy masks of theater date back to Greek and Roman Mythology. They were used to represent the emotions that actors attempted to emulate and express in live theater, now famously used to symbolize modern theater.
