Paintings from Pompeii - pictures

[Caballo]

"A unique exhibition of 2,000-year-old paintings called Pompeian Red has opened at the National Museum of Rome.
More than 100 paintings - including Nightingale (on the left) - shed light on the beliefs, home decorations, fashions, architecture, landscape, dining tables and people who lived in the ancient city of Rome and in Pompeii before its destruction by a volcanic eruption in AD79."

I particularly liked the lifelike painting of a Herm....very different from the white marble most of them are now!
