Step into the ancient city of Pompeii and be transported back in time to witness the breathtaking beauty of its wall paintings. These masterpieces, preserved for centuries under layers of volcanic ash, offer a glimpse into the artistic prowess and cultural richness of this once-thriving Roman city. One such painting is the exquisite depiction of Iphigenia from the tablinum of the House of Lucius Caecilius Iucundus. This chromolithograph by Victor Steeger captures every intricate detail, showcasing Iphigenia's grace and elegance as she stands amidst a backdrop that transports us to ancient Greece. The decorative ornaments from the same house are equally captivating. Delicately illustrated by Geremia Discanno and brought to life through Steeger's chromolithography, these ornate designs adorn the walls with their intricate patterns, adding an air of sophistication to any space they inhabit. Moving on to another remarkable find, we encounter a wall painting from Domus M. Asellini or House of Adonis. The skillful rendering by Victor Steeger allows us to appreciate every stroke that brings Venus and Adonis' love story alive within these walls. In yet another corner lies a stunning arabesque featuring a stag and cupid alongside a panel adorned with Pan's mask - both originating from Domus Vedi Sirici or House of Siricus. These vibrant depictions showcase not only artistic talent but also provide insight into mythological themes prevalent during Pompeii's era. Nature lovers will undoubtedly be captivated by the landscape painting found in Exedra at the House of Vesonius Primus. Through Steeger's chromolithograph after Geremia Discanno's illustration, we are transported to lush green fields where nature thrives in all its glory – an oasis frozen in time. Narcissus contemplating his reflection is yet another mesmerizing piece discovered within Casa delle Vestali or House of Vestals.
