Fausto & Felice Niccolini. Houses and Monuments of Pompeii Hardcover – October 4, 2016

If you are interested in Roman painting this an excellent book with beautiful renderings of paintings many of which no longer exist or areheavily damaged over the time since discovery (c 1750-1900) to the present. If you visit Pompeii you might want to bring a packet ofthe paintings (in the book there are sets for various houses and some taken from the Naples museum which were excavated earlierand thus of unknown provenance except for city). Another advantage is that many of the illustrations show the settings of paintingsat the time of discovery when the "art" was removed to the museum and the remainder of the wall was left to decay The generalpractice until the 1860's and depending on the quality even later especially in lesser houses.

Beautiful package and beautiful interior. If you love interior design you will find value in both the look of this oversized coffee table book as well as the historically significant details of the homes of Pompeii found between the exquisite covers. The great influence the rediscovery of Pompeii had on design is reason enough to have this volume. The overall presentation is a bonus. BTW this book is HUGE!

Great book A+

Outstanding scholarship; makes a wonderful addition to those interested. I also recommend Pompeii: The History, Life and Art of the Buried City by by Marisa Ranieri Panetta, an incredibly beautiful book.
