In the fresco, Urania is depicted standing on a decorative column, wearing a flowing robe. She holds a celestial sphere, a symbol of her association with astronomy and the stars. The depiction highlights the Pompeian painters' attention to detail and ability to convey the majesty of the divine figures.
The Villa of Moregine, located about 600 meters south of the Porta Stabia in Pompeii, is known for its triclinia decorated with frescoes depicting the Muses and the god Apollo. These paintings, discovered during the excavations of 1959, were later restored and transferred to the Palestra Grande for conservation and public display.
