In a sequence of Fellini’s film, Encolpius, the main character, discusses with Eumolpius, the poet, in a room explicitly called the Art Gallery (Pinacoteca in Italian). In this room, the decoration is composed by works of ancient art, mainly paintings coming from Pompeii and the region of the Vesuvius. This paper treats one of the images presented in this Art Gallery, the reproduction of part of the Diver’s tomb painting. The aim is first to stress the exceptional character of theses paintings and, in a second moment, to comment how the iconography could match so perfectly Fellini’s objectives.Downloads
