Description
The Tomb of the Diver is an archaeological monument. of a small necropolis about 1.5 km south of the Greek city of Paestum in Magna Graecia 475 b.c, in what is now southern Italy. It is a grave made of five local limestone slabs forming the four lateral walls and the roof, the floor being excavated in the natural rock ground. All five slabs forming the monument were painted on the interior sides using a true fresco technique. The paintings on the four walls depict a symposium scene, while the cover slab shows the famous scene that gives the tomb its name: a young man diving into a curling and waving stream of water. In Symposium scene there are cottabus player. Kottabos was a game of skill played at ancient Greek and Etruscan symposia (drinking parties), especially in the 5th and 4th centuries BC.
In this painting I paint ancient figure of diving with old pigments in contrast to actual figure of diving.
The return to the origin for the revival of these values and these attitudes.
