Temple of Vesta, Roman Forum · c. AD 200
Keepers of Rome's Sacred Fire
The Temple of Vesta stood in the Roman Forum at the foot of the Palatine Hill. By tradition its cult was founded by Numa Pompilius, Rome's second king. The temple was round, recalling the huts of early Italy, and held no statue of the goddess. At its heart was the eternal flame, and in an inner store, it was said, were sacred objects including the Palladium, an image of Minerva believed to have come from Troy.
Six Vestal Virgins served the goddess. Chosen as girls, they served for thirty years under a vow of chastity. They tended the fire, fetched water from a sacred spring, and prepared the salted flour used in public sacrifices. They held rare privileges, but a Vestal who broke her vow could be buried alive, and one who let the fire go out could be whipped.
The temple burned and was rebuilt several times. The last major restoration came after the great fire of AD 191, under the empress Julia Domna. Beside it stood the House of the Vestals, a long courtyard with pools and statues of senior Vestals. Its ruins and part of the temple can still be seen in the Forum.
The piece
The painting shows the temple as the sky turns from orange to deep blue. The firelit doorway draws the eye first, then the two Vestals, pale against the shadowed columns. Above, lamps glow in the palaces on the Palatine, and on the right a lit colonnade with pools and statues recalls the House of the Vestals.
