The Getty Villa (again)
I took Nathan and Ashley to the Getty Villa while they were in town – Ashley likes ancient things and I studied ancient history for over 3 years in college (6 credits of ancient Latin shy of a degree). The gardens are based on the gardens from Hadrian’s villa and they are beautiful – I also love the building, it stands out overlooking the Pacific.
We’ve been here before – you can find posts here and here.
And now, the pictures:
- Front of Greek Kuoros
- Back of Greek Kuoros
- The Landsdowne Herakles
- NSFW – Man having sex with a prostitute
- Inside of a drinking cup
- Man getting sick after drinking too much
- A wall painting fragment
- A statue head
- A wall painting detail
- A Greek Hermes
- A closeup of the Hermes’s head
- A stand
- Three statues
- A grotesque in one of the archways
- Outdoor fountain and niche
- A water lilly from the fountain
