Flash Talk | Portraits and Patrons: The Women of the Villa of the Mysteries in Their Social Context
Elaine Gazda, University of Michigan
Friday, May 6, 2022
12:00-12:30 PM
Virtual
The identity of the people in the fresco from Room 5 of the Villa of the Mysteries has remained a mystery to us. Are they images of people who really lived? Are they generic? Does the figure of the matron depict the owner of the villa? Join Kelsey Museum curator emerita Elaine Gazda as she discusses her recently published analysis of these figures and the role of the fresco itself as a memorial and heirloom.
