guy Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Work continues on Pompeii even during this COVID-19 lockdown: Quote Using lasers to clean the painting's pictorial film, experts were able to clean portions of the painting, including the fresco's botanical decoration, while abraded parts of the art were recovered through precise pictorial retouching. Work on the house started in September, and is ongoing, according to the Archaeological Park of Pompeii. "In this case, in all probability, the exotic and religious theme of the paintings testified to a link and a specific interest that the owner of the domus had for the Egyptian world and for the cult of Isis (an ancient Egyptian goddess), present in Pompeii in the last years of the city's life due to a very influential college in the city," Osanna added. https://www.cnnphilippines.com/lifestyle/2021/2/26/Pompeii-House-of-the-Ceii-restoration-.html https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/pompeii-fresco-restoration-intl-scli-scn/index.html Quote The large fresco in the garden of the Casa dei Ceii returns to shine in its intense colors at the end of an important restoration on the decorative elements. Like a film faded by time and restored, so comes back to life, in all its splendor and vividness, the large painting that adorns the back wall of the garden of this house, with the hunting scene with wild animals and together with the landscape scenes. Egyptians populated by Pygmies and Nile Delta animals depicted on the side walls.
