gwebarchaeology: myancientworld: Fresco wall-painting from Villa of the Mysteries, Pompeii. Dated at 60- 50 BCE. This fresco can be found in cubiculum (small room/bedroom) 16 in the Pompeian villa, and is painted in the Second Style; frescoes in this style have more architectural elements, and creates the idea of ‘illusionism’, or a 3-dimensional aspect. The Villa of the Mysteries is one of the most intriguing villas in Pompeii due to its striking artwork.
