Empire: Painted Garden, Villa of Livia
[intro music] It's a hot day in Rome, but you know, the ancient Romans had figured out how to stay cool.
We're in a room that reconstructs a room in the villa of Livia.
Livia was the wife of the emperor Augustus.
There is a lovely summer house, a resort of sorts, and in the villa, there was one room that was partially underground, dug into the rock, which meant they would stay much cooler in summer.
And we can really appreciate that today!
But the sense of coolness would come not only from the actual temperature, but also from the decoration.
From the very cool colors that this room is painted in.
What the artist did was paint an amazing illusion of a landscape, a garden, as though the walls were not walls at all, but views out beyond the fence, beyond the wall.
There's trees, and bushes, and fruits, and plants, and birds.
It's as if the walls have dissolved and this is a great example of the second style of Roman wall painting.
The first style was characterized by an attempt to re-create in paint and stucco, the marble walls stuff of decorated Greek palaces A kind of faux marble or kind of trompe-l'oeil.
Exactly. Now here, instead of the illusion of marble, the artist has created an illusion of nature.
And nature is spread out all around us and it's not a menacing nature it's a beautiful cultivated nature.
It's full of playful birds, there is fruit in the trees, there are blossoms everywhere, and there is light!
The artist used atmospheric perspective so that the trees and leaves that are closest are surrendered more crisply than the vegetation in the background.
The only real architecture that's represented is, as you mentioned, a straw fence perhaps or something that looks a bit more substantial in a kind of pink gray.
The artist has used that outer wall in order to create a subtle rendering of perspective.
You can see that as the wall reaches out in a couple of places to enclose trees that are just on the border.
We see poppies, roses, irises, pomegranates, quince, so there is a real sense of variety in the plants, and the flowers, in the fruits and in the birds that we see.
The positions of the birds: some with their wings stretched back, some sitting quietly some in the sky...
There is a real search for the variety of nature.
My favorite part is this one tree, that is framed by this pinkish gray wall.
The branches move in exactly the haphazard way that a tree grows, and there are places where we see light on the leaves and branches and other places where the leaves are in shadow.
It seems as if actually there is a breeze that's come up and it has blown some leaves over so we seeing more silvery underside and we get the darker shadows of the tops of the leaves.
So there is a real sense of the momentary and of this being a breezy, beautiful day.
You can almost hear the leaves rustling in the wind.
I think my favorite plant is probably the acanthus that grows up around a pine on one of the short sides of the room.
The other element I find most interesting is that in this open-air space there is perched precariously on that outer wall, a bird cage.
Throughout this entire room, there are paintings of birds that are free and flying through the open sky but here,
we have a bird in a cage, which reminds me that as I stand in this room, although these walls have dissolved, I am still inside a room. [end music plays]
