Garden painting

Painted plaster
House of the Golden Bracelet, Pompeii

This large fresco covered the entire back wall of an outdoor dining room, creating the illusion of a lush garden populated with birds. The central niche may have framed a fountain. A covered path along the garden’s perimeter allowed people to walk in the shade during the heat of the day.
