FRESCO FRAGMENT FROM THE DOMUS OF THE VILLA FARNESINA, 30-20 BCE. PALAZZO MASSIMO ALLE TERME This extremely simplified scene comes from a frescoed corridor in the domus or villa (it has aspects of both) that likely belonged to Augustus' daughter Julia and her husband Agrippa. When it was discovered, only to be immediately demolished, some of its fresco work was preserved. This scene, against a plain background that is now mauve, shows a man, at left, and a woman at right. This scene has been interpreted as depicting two Cynic philosophers, Crates of Thebes, who famously gave away all his wealth, and his wife Hipparchia, shown here bringing her worldly goods to Crates, who is carrying only a small satchel. They shocked C4 BCE Athenian society by sleeping in the stoas and public places of the city, and even having sex in public. Crates, the male figure, is dressed in a ragged tunic, and Hipparchia is an elegant figure in a peplos. The scenes in this corridor probably all showed Greek philosophers.
