The Villa of Mysteries
Professor Elaine Gazda
Please join us for the next lecture in the Vitruvius Series:
The Villa of Mysteries, Pompeii, Italy
Friday, April 7, 2:00 p.m.
Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, Room 125
Presented by Professor Elaine Gazda
Professor and Curator Emerita Elaine Gazda will share her work and lead a discussion regarding the possible Vitruvian influences on the Villa of Mysteries at Pompeii. The lecture will be followed by a visit to the Roman gallery to view the Barosso watercolors.
The Villa of Mysteries is located outside Pompeii, where it sat undiscovered between AD 79 when Mount Vesuvius erupted, and 1909 when it was discovered by the then-owner of the land. The beautiful frescos in the Villa of Mysteries are a sequence of images, taking up the whole space of the room.
If you would like to read some Vitruvius in advance, Professor talk will
be linked with VI. ii. 1, 2, 5.; VI. iii. 8; VI. iv. 1, 2; VI. v. 1-2 and VI.vii.
