EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing trompe l'oeil garden from the Villa of Livia, dating back to 40-20 BC. The fresco, preserved in the Museo Nazionale Romano in Rome, Italy, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of Livia Drusilla Augusta, wife of Emperor Augustus. The image captures an underground royal residence adorned with exquisite wall paintings and murals. The artist's skillful use of trompe l'oeil technique creates an optical illusion that transports viewers into a lush garden oasis. Towering trees seemingly reach towards a vivid blue sky while ornate decorations embellish every corner. The villa itself is known as Villa di Livia Primaporta or villa Livie and consists of three vaulted subterranean rooms. This hortus conclusus (enclosed garden) was designed to provide tranquility and beauty within its walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by Luisa Ricciarini, we are reminded not only of the artistic mastery displayed but also the grandeur and sophistication that characterized ancient Roman culture. It serves as a testament to their appreciation for nature's beauty and their ability to create breathtaking illusions through paint. This print invites us to immerse ourselves in history and marvel at the ingenuity behind this classical masterpiece.
