Description:
|
|
Part of the 2015 "Pompeii" exhibit which featured over 220 archaeological artifacts, most from the Naples National Archaeological Museum. The exhibit was designed to immerse viewers in settings of every day life in Pompeii, complete with state-of-the-art visual effects and soundscapes. This fresco from Herculaneum shows winged Cupids playing beside two empty thrones. The dove of Venus, goddess of love and fertility, standing on one throne, and the armour of Mars, god of War, resting on the other, symbolize the missing deities. In myth, Mars and Venus had a clandestine affair. (Source: Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; http://www.mmfa.qc.c a/)
