EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable household lararium found in the House of the Vetti, Pompeii. The image, captured by Pierre Gusman, takes us back to ancient Roman times and offers a glimpse into the daily rituals and beliefs of its inhabitants. The focal point of this artwork is a serpent gracefully positioned beneath two household gods known as Lars. These divine figures stand on either side of a guardian Genius loci, exuding an aura of protection and guidance over the household. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these ancient deities to life, evoking a sense of awe and reverence. The composition represents the Fourth Pompeian Style with its polychrome moulding in the Third Style below. It exemplifies Roman architecture at its finest, showcasing exquisite mural frescoes that adorned the walls of this magnificent house. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported to another era where interior design was not merely about aesthetics but also served as an expression of religious devotion. This photograph serves as a testament to human creativity and spirituality throughout history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece through their fine art collection.
