During the bronze age the Flotilla Fresco was painted in a house in Thera Akrotiri. The house is located toward the west. The fresco is in room 5 of that house specifically. The Flotilla Fresco was a long mural that stretched across 3 walls. It was about 39 feet long. However, it was not a very tall mural. It only stood to be 17 inches high. Fresco is another meaning for “fresh”. This is because it is painted into still wet plaster. The paint is made from pigmented dust and water. Then once applied

Chapin, seeks to examine the previous interpretations of Minoan landscape frescoes, and add her own arguments towards the debate of religious versus secular.

In Fred Kleiner’s Gardner’s Art Through the Ages, he has listed some of the oldest and most ancient works of art discovered from different archeological site, which were later transferred to various museums.

Barezzi did not know that the painting was not actually a fresco and badly damaged the center section of the piece. He attempted to reattach the damaged sections with glue, but was not successful. After this event, a lot of examining and studying was done on the paintings’ structure so that in future attempts

Similar to modern society, a home in Pompeii presents your social status. Patricians live in large lavishly decorated homes while plebeians live in small modest homes or in apartment style housing. Nonetheless, any Roman home functions as a “refuge from the commotion of a hectic Roman life” (Zanker 135). Since a home is considered to be a very private place, the differentiation of magnitude, art, and architecture in Pompeiian villas enlightens us on how these artistic elements contribute to an aristocratic
