Museum Monday: Seaside Villa View

By Lili|July 29th, 2019|Categories: Museums, Travel|Tags: 2018, California, Classical California, Fresco, Getty Villa, Los Angeles, Malibu, North America, Pompeii, Santa Monica, Tondo, USA|0 Comments

This fresco of a Roman villa in tondo (circular) is one of a pair on display at the Getty Villa. I love the detail of the man fishing off the pier and the gardens before the pillared hall. This decorated a Pompeiian villa and was likely painted between 52-79 AD. It would have been a very small part of a larger wall decoration. Museum Monday is an every other week series about museum news, objects, and reviews.

The month of April was a month of Culture for me. I visited museums, saw plays, and laughed along with comedians. So let's dig in on the best memories! Early in the month I saw Degas: A Passion for Perfection at the Denver Art Museum with a wonderful friend and her daughter. It was an interesting exhibit showing Degas' contemporaries and influencers in relation to Degas' own work. From horses, to naked ladies, to the famous ballet dancers. Source Then I saw the Broadway version of Aladdin. I've seen a few different Disney plays some good (Lion King)
