For #FrescoFriday a #Roman wall painting from the Casa dei Cervi, Herculaneum, depicting Cupids playing hide and seek. I especially like the one who covers his eyes -聽some things haven't changed since Roman times! In Roman wall painting of the 1st c. AD, scenes depicting Cupid in everyday activities were very popular. The fresco dates 50/60 AD. Now at Museo Archeologico Nazionale.

A fresco depicting three small winged figures in a dimly lit room playinghide and seek. One figure stands in a doorway on the left, partially in shadow. The central figure is running to the right, with a surprised expression and greenish wings. The third figure, also winged, stands at the far right covering their face with both hands. The background features muted earth tones and architectural elements like a door and wall panels, with visible cracks in the painting.

馃巸 Happy Halloween 馃巸

May the spirits be settled and placated and the night sit lightly upon you. This blackbird is our pick for #FrescoFriday and #Halloween

From Pompeii, the blackbird perches on the handle of a beautiful urn against a green backdrop.
