Wall painting from Room H of the Villa of P. Fannius Synistor at Boscoreale, Late Republican, ca. 50–40 B.C., Roman, Fresco, Overall: 73 1/2 x 73 1/2in. (186.7 x 186.7cm), Miscellaneous-Paintings, This painting of a seated woman playing a kithara is from Room H, either a dining room (triclinium) or a room for social gatherings (oecus), in the villa at Boscoreale. Each of the paintings that originally adorned this room derives from the Greek tradition of megalographia, or large-scale painting, about which so much was written in antiquity; Apollinaris of Sidonius, Petronius in the Satyricon, and Vitruvius all shed light on the use of megalographia in Roman villas
