EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable wall painting from the exedra of a Villa at Boscoreale, dating back to around 50-40 B. C. The fresco, measuring an impressive 195.6x271.8 cm, is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The artwork originates from the West wall of the exedra in the Villa of Publius Fannius Synistor at Boscoreale, which was tragically preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. This historical event allowed us to marvel at this exquisite piece even after centuries have passed. The painting features intricate details and elements characteristic of Roman Republican Period artistry. The second style decoration includes masks, laurel wreaths, garlands, and ornate moldings that add depth and elegance to the composition. Notably, fictional characters like satyrs are depicted alongside wonderful and monstrous figures that contribute to its overall allure. Bulls' heads and boukranions adorn architraves while baskets filled with wheat symbolize abundance and prosperity. This extraordinary work exemplifies both decorative mastery and storytelling prowess prevalent during ancient Roman times. Its presence transports viewers back in time to experience life within a Roman villa rustica or country estate. Thanks to Bridgeman Images for capturing this mesmerizing image that allows us all to appreciate this significant piece of history without any copyright restrictions or commercial use limitations.
