CHAPTER LIV. PAINTING. WALL DECORATION

_Technique of Pompeian painting_: DONNER, Die erhaltenen antiken

Wandmalereien in technischer Beziehung, printed as an introduction to

Helbig's Wandgemaelde (see Chap. LV.), pp. I--CXXVII; MAU, Geschichte

der decorativen Wandmalerei in Pompeji (Berlin, 1882; with atlas of 20

plates).

_Specimen illustrations_: Many entire walls as well as single

paintings are reproduced in color in the extensive works by ZAHN, Die

schoensten Ornamente und merkwuerdigsten Gemaelde aus Pompeji, Herkulanum

und Stabiae, nebst einigen Grundrissen und Ansichten (Mit deutschem

und franzoesischem Text. Drei Abtheilungen in 30 Heften, 302 Tafeln.

Berlin, 1827-1859); and NICCOLINI, Le case ed i monumenti di Pompei

designati e descritti (Naples, 1854-1901). Both works are rarely found

complete, and the plates of the second in particular leave much to be

desired in respect to drawing as well as coloring; it has therefore

been thought best not to encumber these notes with detailed references

to them. A number of walls are shown also by ROUX, Herculanum et

Pompei (8 vols., Paris, 1840), vol. 1 (108 plates), and by D'AMELIO,

Dipinti Murali di Pompei, Naples, 1888. Professor Mau has in

preparation a new work on wall decoration which will be illustrated by

colored plates similar to those in the atlas to his Wandmalerei. The

sources of the illustrations in this and the following chapter are

given in our List of Illustrations, p. xxv.
