Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 5th century CE. Six fresco fragments from the walls of an ancient Roman villa. The fresco fragments present vivid claret red, golden yellow, tawny orange, and blue-green hues and come in a nice presentation box. One aspect of Roman wall paintings to appreciate is their brilliant coloration which contrast with the white hues of surviving ancient marble sculpture. Scholars have demonstrated that classical sculptures were actually originally brightly painted; however, the pigments have worn away over the ages. Thankfully, ancient wall paintings demonstrate the bold coloration that embellished classical visual culture. Size of box: 10.75" L x 8.75" W x 1.625" H (27.3 cm x 22.2 cm x 4.1 cm); Size of largest: 2.25" L x 2.25" W x 1" H (5.7 cm x 5.7 cm x 2.5 cm)

Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex Daryl Kulok collection, New York, USA - Daryl Gruber Kulok (1960-2019) had homes in New York city and Connecticut and was fascinated with archaeology of the Holy Land. In America, she was on the philanthropic board of the Lila Gruber Research Foundation. Later in her life, she spent a good deal of time in Jerusalem where she was on the board of the American Friends of the Bible Lands and was a serious collector of ancient art and artifacts.
