My dream home has always been a modest Roman villa, with a central own garden and rooms on either side lined with columns.. now I must incorporate the use of murals and tromp l’oeil and incorporating them into my drawings! Just a hobby, I have the plans drawn already!

I’ve always been partial to The Third Style, which is characterized by usually white or light-colored panels each showcasing a painting of a delicate style. Garlands, lamps, vases/urns etc., appear frequently and I think this is the style that most influenced Robert Adam, my favorite architect/decorator ever. I love his Neoclassical style.

I am not an educated admirer of art, but I have always been struck by the amount of life in the art from ancient Rome. When the Empire fell, however you choose to define it, art became so dreary...I feel compelled to live life to the fullest when seeing art from the age of Julius Caesar, but am ready to lie down in the path of a garbage truck when seeing what the Christians produced in later centuries.

I think it’s great that they put a high-quality reproduction of the Alexander Mosaic back in situ in its villa. I think the landscaping has been reproduced from the Roman originals, based on the extensive research that was done on the original plantings. Yes, it’s “modern”, landscaping, but it is based on what was there originally, at the time of the Vesuvian eruption that buried the city.

2nd is all about the realistic architectural framework for individual genre panels ... 4th style is more playful with that framework and includes several types of genre paintings within the less realistic architectural renderings.

I never made it to Italy or beyond to indulge in the "lift" I always get when seeing ancient art. In the case of Pompeii and the surrounding region of human occupation, with the earthquake preceding the eruption of Vesuvius and the Big One itself sealing the city and region up, restoring those frescoes and the wall art in valued rooms that survived, I'm left stubbornly questioning the wisdom of leaving all that in its original form, intact. Vesuvius is overdue for her next hissy fit and I might just pass out from overwhelming grief to know all those painstakingly restored and refurbished examples of The 4 Styles, et al, got buried in volcanic products all over again. I'm thinking that squirreling the originals away from the worst seismic and volcanic zone for safety would be a better strategy. Am I out in left field here? Also, is there any evidence of good old fashioned spontaneous inspirational expression in the old empire or were the edicts of fashion so demanding of Romans (like those fanatically disciplined Egyptians!) that it perhaps didn't even occur to anyone? I would, just once, love to see some really iconoclastic examples of the equivalence of, say, Pablius Picassus, etc. I love the channel, btw!

Thanks so much for your comments. Many of the "best" works were cut out centuries ago and are now on display in the National archaeological museum of Naples. The best thing - from a conservation standpoint - is to preserve the frescoes in the original location.. Yes, Vesuvius will erupt again, sooner or later, but there's too much to remove and put into a museum. And no plans to do so..

Yes, we know greek sculpture was a template for roman one as much we do know ( better HISTORY OF ART teaches) the greek painters were not celebrated at all ( maybe they were in your childish bias), quite understandable looking at their manufacts survived that are infinitely of lower quality & artistic value compared with the Roman masterpiecing paintings. And if your pathetic envy of the Romans' greatness is not satisfied yet, we could talk of architecture, a field the ancient greeks were wild primitive if we look at the best architects in human history, the Romans...-:) !
