EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sign for the thermopolium, or taverna, in Pompeii. The focal point of the image is a beautifully depicted phoenix, symbolizing rebirth and recovery. The inscription "Phoenix Felix et Tu" further emphasizes this theme of renewal and offers a message of hope to all who enter this establishment. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the fresco painting are truly mesmerizing. Every brushstroke brings life to the majestic bird, with its feathers shimmering in shades of gold and red. As you gaze at this artwork, you can almost feel a sense of nourishment emanating from it. The significance of birds in ancient Roman culture cannot be understated. They were often associated with good fortune and prosperity, making them fitting symbols for an inn or pub where people sought refreshment after their daily endeavors. This photograph not only captures the beauty and symbolism behind this wall painting but also transports us back in time to experience the rich history preserved within Pompeii's Antiquarium. It serves as a reminder that art has always been an integral part of human expression, transcending time and connecting us to our past. Bridgeman Images has done an exceptional job preserving this piece while ensuring its availability for public enjoyment without any commercial use restrictions.
