Roman Landscapes: Visions of Nature and Myth from Rome and Pompeii – Private Tour
Join us for a private tour of the groundbreaking exhibition "Roman Landscapes: Visions
of Nature and Myth from Rome and Pompeii" at the San Antonio Museum of Art, led by
Jessica Powers, PhD, Interim Chief Curator, Curator of Art of the Ancient
Mediterranean.
This first-of-its-kind exhibition in the United States features sixty-five wall paintings,
sculptures, mosaics, and more, created in Roman Italy between 100 BC and AD 250.
Explore the imaginary aspects of Roman images of the natural world, including coastal
villas, rustic shrines, and mythological scenes, and discover the artistic conventions that
distinguish Roman landscape scenes. The private tour will be followed by a reception,
providing an opportunity to engage with the artworks and mingle with fellow art
enthusiasts.
