Summary
DescriptionGaziantep Zeugma Museum Daedalus mosaic 1871.jpg |
English: The Daedalus and Icarus mosaic. From the Enc. Britt. about Daedalus: (Greek: “Skillfully Wrought”), mythical Greek architect and sculptor, who was said to have built, among other things, the paradigmatic Labyrinth forKing Minos of Crete. Daedalus fell out of favour with Minos and was imprisoned; he fashioned wings of wax and feathers for himself and for his son Icarus and escaped to Sicily. Icarus, however, flew too near the Sun, and his wings melted; he fell into the sea and drowned. The island on which his body was washed ashore was later named Icaria. |

I have a large collection of pictures, some taken at the old museum, some of the same mosaics, but in the new museum. During my several visits (at least 6) almost each time light conditions had changed, and correcting for that is not always satisfactory, let alone getting the corrections the same for each picture of each mosaic. I disliked in particular how in the new museum led-spotlights were often used (a nasty development in many museums, not just in Turkey). I suppose they are efficient, but they give notable highlight spots that sometimes cannot be corrected for. I found they also vary in light temperature. Another annoyance is that in the new museum many mosaics are laid on a floor or a slightly raised platform, without offering a point of view from which to take a picture that, after maybe some perspective correction, looked natural. So in some cases I had to guess the amount of foreshortening that I had to correct.
