Meet Melpomene, the muse of tragedy. She stands tall holding a theater mask, looking rather serious, which makes sense given her job description. At her feet, a Greek inscription names her and her art. The bright yellow background makes a nice change from the deep reds usually found in Pompeian art. She wears long draped robes and holds a club, the attribute of the heroes of tragedy, a reminder that drama has been at the heart of entertainment for centuries.
This fresco belongs to a series of muses painted for a house in Pompeii. We printed it on thick matte paper to capture the texture of the original plaster. The golden tones warm up a room without overpowering it. It works well in a living room or a creative workspace, adding a touch of intellectual flair: a sophisticated choice for lovers of the classics.
Melpomene floats on the same golden ground on our Melpomene fresco fragment poster. See all our Pompeii art prints, and learn more in our guide to Pompeii frescoes.
