Поражает чувство цвета, композиции, внимание к деталям. И какой удивительный контраст между изысканностью
рисунка и очевидными для нашего глаза "проколами", выраженными в условности изображения, нарушениях пропорции и перспективы.
Как будто в одном художнике уживаются и признанный мастер, и школяр, впервые взявшийся за кисть...
Две тысячи лет прошло. Жаль, что авторы большинства этих шедевров так и останутся безымянными.

10. This fresco from the Imperial villa at Boscotrecase depicts two consecutive events from the myth of Perseus and Andromeda.
Perseus is about to rescue Andromeda from the ketos, a snaky sea monster painted in a brilliant blue-green palette. The creature raises
his head with gigantic open jaws and frightful teeth toward Andromeda, who stands with outstretched arms in the center of the panel.
One hand appears to be chained to the crag; the other elegantly placed on the rocks. Perseus flies in from the left with his lyre in one hand,
winged shoes on his feet, and a windblown cloak over his shoulder. In the upper right portion of the fresco, he is greeted by Andromeda's grateful
father, a scene that alludes to the myth's happy ending–the marriage of hero and princess.

original, is in the Imperial Villa at Boscotrecase.
