Description

This is another detail of the stair fresco of which you have seen another yesterday (and the global view, two days ago). This part f the fresco shows what could be called a "moon child", with his feet on a white sphere which recalls the big one held by the woman (see yesterday). The child symbolizes, of course, the youth given by the thermal waters. The renewal (doesn't the moon renew itself every month?). The curly shapes of the waves is reprised on the tree's branches, whose fruits are made by bubbles. It is of course not a normal tree, but the tree of life itself. Tomorrow we'll move to the other stair fresco, the "twin" of this one. Thanks for viewing! :-)
