Mixed technique on oak. Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main, on permanent loan from the Historisches Museum Frankfurt. The enclosed garden combines paradisal imagery with cultivated nature and courtly leisure: figures read, make music and gather among flowers, fruit trees and birds, offering a useful visual parallel for the associations of paradise, garden and otium evoked by Pontano’s pavement.

Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Naples, inv. 8905. The scene provides a comparative example of the Roman domestic cult in which offerings, household deities and family observance were closely connected, helping to evoke the ritual world behind Pontano’s references to the Lares and continuing commemorative care.
