Villa Farnesina Cubiculum B fresco depicting the Nymphs of Mount Nysa caring for the infant Dionysus.
The baby is shown being nursed or tended to by female figures in a lush setting. It is painted in a "Neo-Attic" or "lekythos" style, which mimics the look of 5th-c. BCE Greek pottery.

Just look at the expressive 'impressionistic' brushwork on this little lekythos dated 500 BCE. The whole object stands no taller than a modern standard size wine bottle.

For #PhallusThursday we have this squat red-figure lekythos (oil jar), which depicts an ithyphallic, lecherous satyr lifting the chiton of a sleeping maenad. The moment she wakes, that thyrsus becomes a weapon. 🏺 #ancientbluesky 1/

This kind of vase (a lekythos) was associated with funerary rites - it was used to contain olive oil. The young man in the centre of the image is probably the deceased, and it’s such a moving depiction: he is so beautiful and so melancholy.
