Cupid Fresco from Boscoreale, Pompeii - Poster

A petite winged Cupid floats over a field of warm ochre, a soft blue sash curling around him. This Roman fresco once adorned the vaulted cubiculum of the Villa of Numerius Popidius Florus at Boscoreale, near Pompeii. Dating back to A.D. 50-79, it captures the understated charm of late imperial bedroom art. The broad sweep of colour does the heavy work: space, serenity, and a hint of myth, all in one glance.

Our art print preserves the mineral texture perfectly. You'll notice fine cracks, limewash efflorescence, and those gentle, chalky pigments that bring ancient walls to life. Explore more Roman fresco prints from the Pompeii Eternal collection to create a conversation across your walls.
