Bedroom at Boscoreale


Cubiculum (bedroom) from the Villa of P. Fannius Synistor at Boscoreale
50-40 BC

This is a large-scale fresco depicting many architectural scenes. Some specific features include columns (pilasters) which appear to be Corinthian style because of the decorative Capital. These also divided the room and determined where furniture was placed. Arched window/ doorways can be seen in the buildings at a distance. It also shows a Roman town filled with color and smaller architectural details that have not survived to today.
