Her0095
Her0095 House of the Black Salon
House of the Black Salon. Herculaneum. Her0095 shows the Black Salon: Shiny black Panels edged in red, but no figures painted in the middle of the panels.
In Her0092 you can see the original door frame of the house in it’s current carbonized state. The people who had this house decorated must have been kind of severe in their tastes or they must have been the progenitor to today’s Goth culture. Her0095 shows the Black Salon: Shiny black Panels edged in red, but no figures painted in the middle of the panels. I like black but this room is a little too dark for me. Maybe red panels edged in black would have been lighter. Maybe this black room was just to scare the clients and people they leant money to? Her0099 and Her0102 show 2 frescoes from another room. They are much lighter being on a white ground. Note the Sphinx in the upper right corner of Her0102. This room must have been the one that they let the baby play in.
