Careful Civilisation National Museum Perfume Pouring Small Stool Transfer Vase Villa Villa Farnesina Wall Painting 1st Century Mike Dixon
EDITORS COMMENTS
This Roman wall-painting transports us back to the 1st century, offering a glimpse into the daily life of ancient Rome. The artwork depicts a young girl delicately pouring perfume into a small vase, showcasing her careful and precise movements. From the Villa Farnesina in Rome, this exquisite piece is now part of the National Museums collection. The vibrant colors used in this painting bring it to life, highlighting the beauty and elegance of both the subject and her surroundings. The girl is seated on a stool, surrounded by homeware and furniture that reflect the opulence of Roman households during this period. As we admire this artifact, we can't help but imagine ourselves stepping into that very room where she sits. We wonder about her story - who was she? What was her role within that household? Was she simply an innocent child or perhaps someone more significant? This wall-painting not only serves as a window into Roman civilization but also reminds us of our shared humanity across time. It connects us with people from centuries ago who lived their lives just as we do today – caring for their homes, cherishing beautiful objects like perfumes, and finding joy in simple tasks. Thanks to preservation efforts by experts like CM Dixon and Mike Dixon at Heritage Images (not affiliated with any company), we are fortunate enough to have access to such remarkable pieces of history that continue to inspire awe and curiosity within all who encounter them.
