Description

While on a short visit to the Los Angeles area in August of 2014, I visited the Getty Villa located above Malibu, California. This is a detail view from the outer peristyle of a ancient Roman home built by the Gettys and modeled on the Villa dei Papiri, excavated from the ruins of c. 79 AD Herculaneum, with details from excavated homes of the period. The villa now houses the Getty collection of ancient Greek, Roman and Etrurian antiquities. The villa is a beautiful recreation of first century Roman architecture. Here is a fabulous example of one of the Corinthian columns that support the balcony that overlooks the Outer Peristyle.
