Mosaic panel June. Ancient Rome, 3rd century AD. From the Hermitage collection #240830640
Description
Decorative mosaic multicolor panel depicting a boy with a basket and a tray among seafood. Perhaps the panel copies a fragment of one of the Roman frescoes - such borrowing of motifs was common in antiquity. The panels, enclosed in ornamental frames, created the illusion of paintings hung on the wall. Art and Archaeological Monuments of Ancient Rome. Sivkov crossing site from the side of the Winter Palace. State Hermitage Museum. Saint-Petersburg, Russia
