Are those the original paints? If so, Kelly Moore and Sherwin Williams need to borrow the ingredients for colors that can outlast a volcanic blast and 2000 years under layers of ash.

Seeing how advanced classical Roman civilization and art were, and then comparing it with everything that came afterwards for the next thousand years, is both awesome and terrifying.

Seeing other paintings from Pompeii, the realism that was evident in their creation was lost for a thousand years during the Dark Ages.

God has to ‘slow down’ human achievements every now and then..............

I’ve acquired a morbid fascination with the 3rd Century AD and the 12th Century BC in recent years. We don’t need to guess at what the end of the world as we know it looks like: It has already happened at least twice in the history of Western civilization.
