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. The fresco, a rather rare subject, is present in Pompeii only in one other specimen from the Temple of Isis; this is from the House of the Duke of Aumale (VI.7.21). It is certainly derived from a Hellenistic prototype; probably of Alexandrian manufacture and dating to the third century BCE. The theme was inspired by the Ptolomeic dynasty’s need to legitimize its power through images which in some way showed, through myths such as this one, the common origins of the Egyptians and the Macedonians.
