This was the Domus Aurea or Golden House, a huge palace built by theEmperor Nero over the remains of a building that had burned down. The Domus Aurea had burned in its turn and hadbeen covered over by the baths of Trajan.The Domus Aurea galleries, which were thought to have been underground from the very beginning, were called“grottoes,” and their mural paintings of ornamental designs and mythological figures were called “grotesques.” Thediscovery of the grotesques was to have a profound influence on the artists of the Renaissance, who began toredecorate palaces with imitations of them. Raphael (1483-1520), one of the greatest, also drew inspiration from themwhen decorating the Logge in the Vatican palace. Even more important was the fact that the frescoes provided the firstcolor illustrations of antiquity; the mural paintings of Pompeii and Herculaneum were not discovered until twocenturies later.

16世紀之初，在古羅馬競技場附近作業的工人秘密潛入一座以壁畫及泥塑裝飾並已崩塌的建築物，這座建築物稱為金宮，它是由皇帝Nero所建造，因為被燒毀，而如今只剩下斷垣殘壁。金宮接連被燒毀之後被圖拉真浴場覆蓋，最初被認為是在地下的金宮畫廊被稱作“grottoes”，而當中裝飾設計及神話色彩的壁畫被稱作grotesques， grotesques的發現深深地影響了文藝復興時代的藝術家，他們開始仿造重新裝飾皇殿，當中最傑出的一位名叫拉斐爾(1483-1520)，在裝飾梵蒂岡宮的涼廊也從中汲取靈感，更重要的是這些壁畫提供了最初古代的彩色圖像，在這之後過了兩世紀才有龐貝和赫庫蘭尼姆的壁畫被發現
