FSC-certified paper
This maenad looks as if she is about to float right off the wall. A follower of Bacchus, god of wine and celebration, she holds a staff and a ribbon, caught in a dance step that defies gravity. Her pale robe stands out boldly against the deep red background, and it is amazing how much movement the painter managed to capture with so little. She looks like she is halfway through the best party of antiquity.
Figures like this one, floating in the middle of large coloured panels, were a signature of Pompeian decoration. We printed her on thick matte paper to do justice to that famous Pompeian red. The finish gives the artwork a soft, authentic feel, and it brings plenty of life to a blank wall. No need to know Greek mythology to enjoy the energy.
She has a calmer sister on our maenad and peacock fresco poster. Discover more Pompeii art prints, and find out why that red is so famous in our article on Pompeii frescoes.
