Victor Steeger: Capturing the Beauty of Pompeii Step into the ancient city of Pompeii through the incredible artwork brought to life by Victor Steeger. Known for his meticulous attention to detail, Steeger's chromolithographs transport us back in time, allowing us a glimpse into the vibrant world that once thrived within these walls. One such masterpiece is the wall painting of Iphigenia from the tablinum of the House of Lucius Caecilius Iucundus. With skillful precision, Steeger recreates Geremia Discanno's illustration, capturing every delicate brushstroke and intricate design, and is as if Iphigenia herself has stepped out from Greek mythology and onto our very walls. In another corner of Pompeii, we find decorative ornaments adorning the tablinum of Lucius Caecilius Jucundus' house. Once again, it is Victor Steeger who brings these ornate details to life with his chromolithograph rendition. The elegance and craftsmanship displayed in these pieces are truly awe-inspiring. Moving on to Domus M. Asellini or House of Adonis, we encounter a captivating wall painting that tells a story all its own. With great care and artistic flair, Steeger captures every nuance and emotion depicted in this scene, and is as if we have been transported directly into this room where Venus and Adonis come alive before our eyes. The Casa di Ione or Casa con Xystus holds yet another treasure - an arabesque with stag and cupid painted on its walls. Victor Steeger masterfully reproduces this stunning piece with impeccable accuracy down to each minute detail. The gracefulness exuded by both figures creates an enchanting ambiance within any space fortunate enough to display it. As we venture further into Regio VI at VII 1 47 - Domus Vedi Sirici or House of Siricus, we are greeted by a wall painting that showcases the beauty of nature.
