Cupid Fresco from Boscoreale, Pompeii - Poster

A petite winged Cupid floats across a field of warm ochre, with a soft blue sash swirling around him. This Roman fresco once graced the vaulted cubiculum of the Villa of Numerius Popidius Florus near Boscoreale, close to Pompeii. Dating from A.D. 50-79, it captures the quiet charm of bedroom art in the late imperial period. The surrounding field of colour does the work: space, calm, and a touch of legend, all in one glance.

Our art print preserves the mineral texture perfectly. You’ll notice fine hairline cracks, limewash efflorescence, and those gentle, chalky pigments that make ancient walls seem vibrant. Explore more Roman fresco prints in the Pompeii Eternal range to create a conversation across your spaces.
