‎A visually stunning, intimate photographic tour of Pompeii's spaces, including many that have never been seen by the public. Pompeii, one of the most astonishing and well-preserved sites of classical antiquity, is also one of the world's most visited architectural sites. This lavish volume takes readers on a tour of Pompeii through an array of visually compelling and original photographs by Italian artist Luigi Spina. Produced in partnership with the Parco Archeologico di Pompei, readers are expertly guided through the Roman city's nine districts, including many hidden corners that are inaccessible to most visitors. Pompeii's architecture is a central feature of the images, which were shot at all times of day, in all seasons, and in natural light. Lacy peristyles and rows of column fragments give way to intimate, atmospheric interior spaces. Mosaic floors and beautiful - albeit fragmentary - wall paintings are reproduced with stunning fidelity and sensitivity. The book also includes an essay by Gabriel Zuchtriegel, director of the Pompeii archaeological park, and several meditations on the history, architecture and natural beauty of the city. Inside Pompeii provides the wondrous experience of wandering through this remarkable site without ever leaving home. ‎

‎Alsof de tussenliggende eeuwen wegvallen en een levende Romeinse stad haar deuren voor je opent: zo was het voor de toeristen die vanaf het eind van de achttiende eeuw de opgraving van Pompeii bezochten. Zo?n zeventienhonderd jaar tevoren was deze stad aan de baai van Napels door een uitbarsting van de Vesuvius met een dikke aslaag bedekt geraakt. Nu kon je er door straten lopen, tempels, winkels en theaters binnengaan en je vergapen aan de kleurrijke opschriften, schilderingen en moza eken. In de novelle Arria Marcella uit 1852, van de hand van de Franse schrijver Th ophile Gautier, stijgt deze ervaring een ontvankelijke jonge toerist z naar het hoofd, dat hij zich op een nacht getransporteerd ziet worden naar het jaar van de fatale vulkaanuitbarsting, om in een Pompeiaanse villa de liefde van zijn leven te ontmoeten: de heidense schoonheid Arria Marcella. Gautier beschrijft deze bovennatuurlijke gebeurtenis (en haar huiveringwekkende afloop) met veel kennis van, en vooral met een enorme passie voor het geestelijke en materi le leven in de voorchristelijke wereld. Arria Marcella werd niet eerder voor een Nederlands publiek toegankelijk gemaakt. Deze uitgave plaatst de originele Franse tekst naast een Nederlandse vertaling en illustreert beide met afbeeldingen en andere relevante teksten ? gedichten, dagboekaantekeningen, reisgidsfragmenten, en opgravingsverslagen ? uit de achttiende- en negentiende-eeuwse Pompeii-receptie.‎

‎Painting Pompeii. Painters, Practices, and Organization‎

‎Summary In the Roman world, wall paintings were one of the most pervasive art forms, adorning buildings of all levels, from public spaces and elite houses to far more modest dwellings. Yet despite the very visual nature of their work, Roman painters have remained largely invisible to history. This book attempts to rectify this situation, by shifting the focus from the paintings themselves to the people who realized them, looking beyond the bright colours and imaginative forms to investigate the materials, production practices, and choices underpinning artistic decisions. Taking Pompeii as its starting point, this volume reconstructs what it meant to paint for a living, and asks if it was actually possible to make a living as a painter in the Roman world. Wall paintings are investigated stylistically but also from an ethnological and economic point of view. Broader comparisons across time and space, combined with a quantitative analysis of the labour involved in making wall paintings, allow the author to assess this art form as an economically-embedded practice. Through this unique approach, the volume exposes the social and economic forces underlying craft production, and offers new insights into the lived experience of Roman artisans.
