Explanation:
The Fresco from the House of Livia was elaborated with symmetry, insight and with a range of spatial suggestions based on the elements that reveal movement, such as the flying birds and the sloping branches due to the wind. Research done on the work recorded 23 plant species and more than 60 bird species. Villa Lívia, or Villa Primaporta of Rome, corresponded to the house of Lívia Drusilla, Augusto's wife, and according to a poetic legend, the village was founded because of an eagle that would have caused a white chicken with a branch to fall on Lívia's belly. of bay leaf in its beak. Advised by fortune tellers, the empress raised white chickens in her house and planted the branch in a grove that turned into a tree from which the emperor always collected a bay leaf to accompany him in his battles, as a good omen.
