THE EXHIBITION

From 23 September 2022 to 19 March 2023 at the Museo Civico Archeologico di Bologna

The exhibition includes the exceptional loan of more than 100 works from the Roman period from the collection of the National Archaeological Museum in Naples, which houses the world's largest picture gallery of antiquity.
The exhibition places a spotlight on the figures of the pictores—artists and craftsmen who created the decorative schemes in homes in Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the surrounding area—in order to contextualize their role and economic position in society at the time as well as shed light on their techniques, tools, colors, and patterns.
