EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a reconstructed view of the Frigidarium and Picina, two essential components of the grand bathing complex discovered in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. Dating back to 1832, this image offers a high-level perspective of the cool, tranquil atmosphere that once enveloped these spaces. The Frigidarium, the larger of the two structures, served as a cooling room where bathers could relax and recover after their bathing sessions in the adjacent heated rooms. The room's impressive ceiling, adorned with intricate frescoes, is a testament to the Roman appreciation for art and beauty. The Picina, a cold pool, is located at the center of the Frigidarium. Bathers would immerse themselves in the refreshing water to cool down after their hot baths. The pool's pristine, crystal-clear waters contrasted sharply with the warm temperatures of the surrounding rooms, providing a welcome relief. Togas-clad figures can be imagined lounging on the marble benches that line the walls, engaging in conversation or simply enjoying the peaceful ambiance. The serene atmosphere of this ancient bathing complex is a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of the Roman elite and their dedication to maintaining their health and well-being. This print, which has been preserved for over 190 years, offers a unique and captivating perspective of the Frigidarium and Picina at Pompeii, allowing us to appreciate the grandeur and sophistication of Roman bathing culture.
