Pompeii Fresco Fragment with Maenad and Peacock Art Print

Fast worldwide shipping
Age-resistant art paper
FSC-certified paper
This elaborate fresco fragment showcases the sophistication of Roman domestic decoration through its multi-layered composition. The central figure, possibly a maenad (follower of Bacchus), stands gracefully within an arbor while holding a metal dish. Her draped form occupies a garden-like niche, creating an illusion of depth that Roman artists mastered during the first century CE.
We're drawn to the rich symbolism woven throughout this piece. Below the main figure, a peacock struts among scattered fruit including grapes and pomegranates - all symbols of fertility, rebirth, and the luxury that wealthy Romans enjoyed in their villa gardens. The decorative red border frames everything beautifully, while the stucco imitation panel above adds another layer of architectural detail. This fragment once formed part of a larger wall scheme, demonstrating how Romans transformed their living spaces into theatrical environments filled with mythological references and natural abundance.
