This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, a master of architectural and archaeological illustration, depicts a mosaic floor design found near the Casa di Campania in Pompeii. The geometric composition features a repeating pattern of octagons and squares, creating a visually captivating interplay of light and shadow. Piranesi's meticulous attention to detail captures the intricate craftsmanship of Roman mosaics and provides a valuable record of ancient Roman design.
