You can expect gods, goddesses and the importance of myth in the ancient world and beyond. Here’s Venus the patron of Pompeii and Ariadne abandoned by Theseus as depicted in Pompeii frescoes...
For #FrescoFriday the figure of a winged victory from the Moregine complex near #Pompeii's harbour. The use of light in this painting is just extraordinary - the delicate white lines to pick out details, the shine on the helmet and the face. It is almost luminous.
For #FrescoFriday two exquisite vignettes from Moregine 600m south of #Pompeii These are believed to have decorated a large guest house at Pompeii's lost harbour, for wealthy merchants visiting the town.
