A mini kylix. I thought it could make an opulent cat bowl, but I think its owner is going to keep it safe on a shelf.

Tondo from the so-called Coupe à l'oiseleur ("Birdcatcher Cup"), an Ionian black-figure kylix made in ca. 550 BCE. The tondo depicts birds, a grasshopper, and a snake amidst lush vegetation, with a human or divine figure in the center. Some have argued that the shoots are meant to represent vines and that the central figure is Dionysos, but this is uncertain. Provenance uncertain (perhaps Etruria); now in the Louvre.

Discovered in Antinoöpolis, a Roman city on the Nile, the "Tondo of the Two Brothers" was painted in the second century AD.

Some studies now believe it could, in fact, depict two male lovers. Next to the man on the right is a figure of Hermanubis-a fusion of Hermes and Anubis-and beside the man on the left is Osir-Antinoüs, a combination of Osiris and the deified Antinoüs, Emperor Hadrian's young lover, for whom the city is named.

Antigua Via Latina / The ancient Via Latina

In the middle of the Roman periphery, between the modern Via Appia and Via Tuscolana, a section of the 3rd mile of the ancient Via Latina is preserved in perfect condition.

It has ancient origins: the natural route, already followed in prehistoric times, was used by the Etruscans to colonise Campania in the 8th-6th centuries BC.

Definitely laid out by the Romans around the IV-III centuries B.C., it connected Rome with Capua, maintaining its importance throughout Antiquity. In fact, even in the Middle Ages, it was preferred as an access road to Naples because of its better preservation compared to the Appian Way and the presence of a number of Christian places of worship along the route..

Entering the Archaeological Park of the Tombs of the Via Latina, it is now possible to walk along a section of the original paving of the street. With a pleasant walk you can admire the rich tombs dating back to the I-II century A.D. that overlooked the route, which still have perfectly preserved polychrome decorations on the façades and inside: vaults covered with painted plaster and stucco, walls frescoed with funerary scenes and rich mosaic floors are still substantially intact in their original context.

From the street it is also possible to reach the Basilica of S. Stefano, a rare example of an early Christian building erected under the pontificate of Leo the Great in the middle of the 5th century.

Santo Stefano in Via Latina, partially reconstructed remains, 1911.

The Archaeological Park of the Tombs of the Via Latina was created in 1879 following the acquisition by the State of a vast area in which important remains from Roman times had been discovered.

BARBERINI TOMB

The so-called Barberini Sepulchre, or Sepulchre of the Corneli. The funerary monument, dating from the 2nd century AD, consists of two above-ground floors and a hypogeum in an excellent state of preservation. The upper floor is covered by a ribbed vault completely covered with plaster painted with a red background and stucco elements. Groups of figures, winged victories on chariots, love affairs, birds, marine animals, mythological themes and architectural backgrounds can be recognised.

TOMB OF THE VALERI

The Tomb of the Valeri. The richly decorated underground rooms dating from the mid-2nd century AD are preserved, while the elevation is a hypothetical reconstruction dating from the mid-19th century. An elaborate white stucco covering, articulated in 35 medallions and panels, adorns the lunettes and the barrel vault of the underground room. The medallions depict Dionysian themes, female figures and sea animals, while in the central tondo there is a delicate-veiled figure on the back of a griffin, representing the deceased being carried to the afterlife.

THE TOMB OF THE PANCRATII

The Tomb of the Pancratii. Much of the visible structure is a modern construction that protects the monument below by resting on the original 1st-2nd century AD walls, about a metre high. Upon entering the tomb, one can admire the beautifully decorated underground rooms, with mosaics on the floors and vaults and walls frescoed in bright colours and stucco in an excellent state of preservation. They depict mythological scenes, natural and architectural landscapes, images of women and animals. In the centre of one of the underground chambers is a large sarcophagus for two Greek marble depositions.

Shyama Golden’s Monstrous Alter-Ego Transfigures in a Surreal Mythological Narrative

JUNE 14, 2024

In Sri Lankan folklore, yakkas are demonic tricksters, and in the paintings of Shyama Golden, they’re alter egos. The Los Angeles-based artist presents a new body of work this month at Harper’s Chelsea that uses these mythological creatures to shatter the false binary of good and evil.

Like earlier series, In My Mind, Out My Mind roots in narrative. “Daydream of a Nocturne” launches the uncanny storyline with a self-portrait of the artist seated in a cemetery next to a monstrous twin, rendered in unsettling washes of blues and greens. Subsequent works glimpse the artist traversing a meadow with one of her signature anthropomorphic trees on the horizon, before she appears peeking from the belly of a masked creature in “The Double.”

Golden’s journey is psychological as she attempts to greet and embrace her inner demons before emerging anew. Each portrait witnesses the next step in her metamorphosis before she slithers from a tree in her human likeness in the bizarrely beautiful “Blood Orange Moon.” Set in the concrete-walled Los Angeles River, the artist echoes the symbiotic and parallel transformations of psyche and environment.

In My Mind, Out My Mind is on view through June 22 in New York. If you’re in London, you can see one of Golden’s paintings at PM/AM through July 15.

MWW Artwork of the Day (11/27/24) Early Imperial Period (Roman, 27 BCE-117 CE) Portrait of Terentius Neo and his Wife (c. 45-79 CE) Fresco from their house, Region VII, Pompeii Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Naples

In Greece and Rome, wall painting was not considered as high art. The most prestigious form of art besides sculpture was panel painting, i.e. tempera or encaustic painting on wooden panels. Unfortunately, since wood is a perishable material, only a very few examples of such paintings have survived, namely the Severan Tondo from c. 200 CE, a very routine official portrait from some provincial government office, and the well-known Fayum mummy portraits, all from Roman Egypt, and almost certainly not of the highest contemporary quality.

The Virgin and Child with Saint John and an Angel, about 1490, Sandro Botticelli

La Virgen y el Niño con San Juan y un ángel, hacia 1490, Sandro Botticelli

Madonna col Bambino, San Giovanni e un angelo, 1490 circa, Sandro Botticelli

(English / Español / Italiano)

Workshop of Sandro Botticelli, 1490 Tempera on wood, 84.5 x 84.5 cm

Restored in 2018–19, this is one of the more significant paintings of the Virgin Mary to survive from the workshop of the Florentine Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli. The exposed breast with which the Virgin Mary is nourishing her infant son, the Christ Child, is central to the design of the painting. The young Saint John the Baptist on the left and the angel on the right are slightly bent forward as if to fit into the circular format. This tondo was among the very first early Italian paintings to enter the National Gallery’s collection, and its acquisition in 1855 coincided with the rise in popularity of Botticelli. Numerous artists came to see it, producing copies of it, and studying its tempera technique (tempera is paint made using egg yolk as a medium).At some point it was displayed next to works by Raphael. The painting survives with its original frame.

Taller de Sandro Botticelli, 1490 Temple sobre madera, 84,5 x 84,5 cm

Restaurada en 2018-19, esta es una de las pinturas más significativas de la Virgen María que sobreviven del taller del artista renacentista florentino Sandro Botticelli. El pecho expuesto con el que la Virgen María alimenta a su hijo, el Niño Jesús, es fundamental para el diseño de la pintura. El joven San Juan Bautista, a la izquierda, y el ángel, a la derecha, están ligeramente inclinados hacia delante, como para encajar en el formato circular. Este tondo fue uno de los primeros cuadros italianos en entrar en la colección de la National Gallery, y su adquisición en 1855 coincidió con el auge de la popularidad de Botticelli. Numerosos artistas acudieron a contemplarlo, realizaron copias y estudiaron su técnica al temple (el temple es una pintura hecha con yema de huevo como medio); en algún momento se expuso junto a obras de Rafael. El cuadro se conserva con su marco original.

Bottega di Sandro Botticelli, 1490 Tempera su tavola, 84,5 x 84,5 cm

Restaurato nel 2018-19, questo è uno dei più significativi dipinti della Vergine Maria sopravvissuti dalla bottega dell'artista rinascimentale fiorentino Sandro Botticelli. Il seno esposto con cui la Vergine Maria nutre il figlio neonato, il Bambino Gesù, è al centro del disegno del dipinto. Il giovane San Giovanni Battista a sinistra e l'angelo a destra sono leggermente piegati in avanti come per adattarsi al formato circolare. Questo tondo è stato uno dei primi dipinti italiani ad entrare nella collezione della National Gallery e la sua acquisizione nel 1855 coincise con l'aumento della popolarità di Botticelli. Numerosi artisti vennero a vederlo, producendo copie e studiando la sua tecnica a tempera (la tempera è una pittura realizzata con il tuorlo d'uovo). A un certo punto fu esposto accanto a opere di Raffaello. Il dipinto sopravvive con la sua cornice originale.
