    This gorgeous fresco is from the Villa Arianna in ancient Stabiae. Diana holds a bow and arrow with billowing fabric out behind her. The yellow tones of her clothing are a striking accompaniment to the vibrant blue background.

  11. ✨Women and Literacy✨

    While the extent written evidence from women in ancient Rome is small, it is suggestive of a culture of education particularly among elite families.

    This Pompeian fresco depicts Terentius Neo and his (name unknown) wife. She holds a stylus and writing tablet while he holds a scroll. The literacy of both is openly suggested in this double portrait.

  16. ✨A bird’s paradise✨

    This fresco detail includes a swallow (happy to stand corrected by folk with more bird knowledge!) and comes from the garden painting from the House of the Golden Bracelet, Pompeii.

    We are in awe of the simple beauty that is captured by the artist that offers whet feels like reverence for nature. #FrescoFriday

  21. ✨Minerva✨

    What’s caught Minerva’s eye? We’re not sure, but she does seem worried… Maybe it’s something Hercules said. This fresco comes from the College of the Augustales, Herculaneum.

  26. ✨Paris about to make a huge decision/mistake✨

  32. 🌺Livia’s Garden Villa Fresco🐝

    Some #FrescoFriday’s require revisiting the glorious artistry of the frescoes from Livia’s villa. Abundance and control are both on full display in this fresco which reflect the ideals emphasised by the Augustan regime.

  37. ✨Dionysus was interested in seafood?✨

    This is part of the recently uncovered House of Thiasos at Pompeii which is covered in sprawling and near life sized portraits of followers of Dionysus including Silenus (seen here with a young lady). But it seems that the veneration of Dionysus would be incomplete indeed without some fine marine creatures!
