A beautiful 1st century Roman Fresco from the House of the Vettii in Pompeii, destroyed by the Mount Vesuvius eruption of 79 AD

The 5th variation on this theme of the beast tamed by the maiden. Ancient primordial myth brought back to us in the tale of Beauty and the Beast. My inspiration for this was a roman fresco from Pompeii.
