EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Roman art titled "Fullonica or Foulonnerie". The scene depicted in this fresco from the 1st century AD takes us back to the ancient city of Pompei, specifically the villa Fullonica Stephanus. This villa served as a bustling washing house and dyeing center, where crowds would bring their clothes to be cleaned. The artist, Luisa Ricciarini, beautifully captures the daily life and fabric-related handicrafts of ancient Rome. In this painting, we witness craftsmen diligently cleaning garments on their feet. The attention to detail is astonishing; every brushstroke brings forth the vibrant colors and textures of these ancient fabrics. As we delve into this artwork, it becomes evident that manufacturing technology was well-developed during the Roman Empire. The fullonicas played a crucial role in ensuring clean and presentable clothing for the citizens of Pompei. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers an insight into antiquity's metier and craftsmanship. It transports us back in time to experience firsthand how laundry was done centuries ago. Displayed at Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Campania, Italy, this masterpiece stands as a testament to Roman ingenuity and artistic prowess. Its preservation allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty today.
