The Tomb of the Diver, dating back to approximately 470 BCE, is a remarkable ancient Greek burial site located near the city of Paestum in southern Italy. Constructed from five local limestone slabs, the tomb's structure comprises four lateral walls and a roof, with the floor carved directly into the natural bedrock. This tomb is particularly notable for its well-preserved frescoes, which offer a rare glimpse into ancient Greek art. The four side walls are adorned with scenes depicting a symposium—a traditional Greek drinking party—featuring reclining figures and attendants. The ceiling, however, presents a unique and enigmatic image: a solitary figure diving into water, a motif that has intrigued scholars and led to the tomb's modern name. The frescoes were executed using the true fresco technique, where pigments are applied onto wet plaster, allowing the colors to bond with the wall as it dries. The artist employed a limited palette, primarily using black and red, with accents of green, blue, and white, to create these vivid scenes. The Tomb of the Diver stands as a singular example of Greek painting from the Orientalizing, Archaic, or Classical periods to have survived in its entirety. Its discovery in 1968 by Italian archaeologist Mario Napoli has provided invaluable insights into ancient Greek funerary practices and artistic expression.
