Description:

Around 20 BCE there began to be a reaction against the illusionistic tricks of the Second Style. Buildings are still depicted in the Farnesina House in Rome, commissioned ca. 25-20 BCE by the general Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, but they are increasingly attenuated and accompanied by new painted motifs: candelabra, a profusion of decorative stripes, and Egyptianizing motifs. The ancient villa was discovered under the grounds of the present Villa Farnesina in Trastevere in 1879, during maintenance works on the banks of the Tiber. In the exhibition space of Palazzo Massimo the restored frescoes have been recomposed within rooms of the original dimensions. This bedroom was divided into an antechamber and alcove. The slender columns frame scenes that include travelers making sacrifice to a herm of Athena. The carved vaulted stucco ceiling has landscapes and mythological scenes.
