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 is an inner walkway between two wings of the villa. The small scenes of the upper zone alternate theater masks with imaginary landscapes filled with shrines and populated with figures of fishermen, peasants and shepherds. The scene with a naval battle may refer to the battle of Actium (31 BCE) and the Roman conquest of Egypt. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
