Landscape with Perseus and Andromeda

Agrippa Postumus at Boscotrecase, the Mythological Room (19)

Oops—In our recent post, From NEUE to Old, I accidentally left out my photo of a Landscape with Perseus and Andromeda, an impressive wall painting from a cubiculum nocturnum (bedroom) from the villa of Agrippa Postumus at Boscotrecase, the Mythological Room (19). Since I’m taking the time to post it now, I thought we would also include a few bonus pics from that outing.

P. Fannius Synistor at Boscoreale, Roman, ca. 50-40 B.C.
