A Blue Painted Shrine is the Latest Discovery in Pompeii ‘Treasure Chest’

Archaeologists have unearthed an intricately decorated blue room, interpreted as an ancient Roman shrine known as a sacrarium, during recent excavations in central Pompeii in Italy.

The Italian Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano, visited the site on Tuesday, describing the ancient city as “a treasure chest that is still partly unexplored.”

The blue color found in this new discovery is rare, with the culture ministry outlining that it is generally associated with environments of great decorative importance.

An in-depth analysis of the room, according to the ministry, found that the space could be interpreted as a sacrarium or a space dedicated to ritual activities and the conservation of sacred objects.

The walls of the room feature female figures that are said to depict the four seasons of the year, as well as allegories of agriculture and shepherding.

The new discovery came amid excavations in the Regio IX area of central Pompeii, a residential area that is currently one of the most active excavation sites for new findings.

The excavations are part of a broader project to secure a perimeter between the excavated and non-excavated areas of the archaeological park, which currently has more than 13,000 excavated rooms.

The project aims to improve the structure of the area, making the “protection of the vast Pompeiian heritage… more effective and sustainable,” the culture ministry said.

Other recent findings in the area include furnishings belonging to a house, a bronze kit with two jugs and two lamps, building materials used in renovations, and the shells of oysters that had been consumed.

Last week, it was reported that archaeologists in Pompeii had uncovered children’s sketches depicting violent scenes of gladiators and hunters battling animals.

The drawings, thought to be made by children between the ages of five and seven sometime before Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, were found on the walls of a back room in the residential sector of the archaeological park.

They showed that even children in ancient times were exposed to extreme violence.

The Birth of Venus

I’ve been making posts where I dive into certain artworks depicting Lady Aphrodite (or Venus)! I’ve covered the Birth of Venus (Both the ones by Botticelli and Cabanel), Venus Victrix, Venus Anadyomene, and Venus Verticordia. Today’s painting is the Birth of Venus by Fragonard.

Fragonard

Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a French painter and printmaker, was born April 5, 1732 in Grasse, France and died August 22, 1806 in Paris at the age of 74. He painted in the Rococo style, with many of his paintings showing off his beliefs in hedonism. Fragonard painted more than 550 paintings in his lifetime, with notable works including The Swing, A Young Girl Reading, and The Bolt. Not much is known about many of his paintings.

Description of the Painting

Venus sits on a wave, tended to by many women. All appear to be nude, and some appear to have fish tails. Some hold flowers or shells, while most hold nothing.

This is a 3D print of a forest Shrine model that I found on Colts 3d. The original file was too small, so I scaled it up to 200% so it would be more compatible with 28 mm miniatures. My son gave it I complement, remarking that it reminded him of something from a Studio Ghibli film.

And every ancient Shrine needs a powerful Guardian so beware the guardian five-headed goose hydra!

Venus and Cupid

I’ve been creating little deep dives into art depictions of Lady Aphrodite/Venus as a devotional act to Her! Today’s painting is Venus and Cupid by Titan.

Titian

Tiziano Vecellio, more commonly known as Titian , was born c. 1488-1490 in the Republic of Venice and died August 27, 1576 in Venice. This Italian was very influential in the style of Renaissance Venetian painting. He was successful throughout his whole life and was very versatile, talented at painting portraits, landscapes, as well as mythical and religious subjects.

Description of the Painting

Venus, sitting on the ground and leaning against a tree, holds the hands of the infant Cupid. Venus wears a red and white dress and has long brunette hair. Cupid is nude and holds an arrow. The background shows a river, mountains, a few trees, and a city.
