I love getting lost in a painting. It’s a style which has fallen out of favour but whether it’s Socrates’ death, Washington on his boat trip or Pompeii’s demise - they all tell such gripping tales. As for the Cossacks’ letter to the Sultan, just how rude was it??

Even 4 days of tremors and the feast of Vulcan in 79 did not awaken Pompeii to what was about to happen...

En tout cas, on attend le retour de Shiro Usazaki sur une série longue ici. L'une des meilleures artistes de sa génération, âgée de seulement 23 ans.

Elle mérite un retour en grande pompe, et une place au panthéon. https://t.co/Z3Z5bxzNj7

Two of my favourite frescoes from Pompeii that survived the eruption in 79AD ~ elegant, barefoot young woman, possibly the nymph Flora, treading lightly, carrying basket & turning to gather spring flowers (from Villa Arianna) ■ and basket of figs (Poppea’s Villa)

Today we've chosen this stunning depiction of a Bacchic rite from the Villa of Mysteries in Pompeii - the fifth of seven similar frescoes.

Here a woman kneels before a priestess beside a mynaed or thyiad and a figure holding a thyrsus.
