_Of the paintings in general_: the paintings discovered prior to 1868
are described, with references to the literature, by W. HELBIG,
Wandgemaelde der vom Vesuv verschuetteten Staedte Campaniens (Nebst
einer Abhandlung ueber die antiken Wandmalereien in Technischer
Beziehung, von Otto Donner, Leipzig, 1868); those discovered after the
publication of Helbig's work and before 1880, by A. SOGLIANO, Le
pitture murali Campane scoverte negli anni 1867-1879 (supplemento all'
opera dell' Helbig, Naples, 1879. Published also in the volume, Pompei
e la regione sotterrata dal Vesuvio, for which see p. 513); those that
have come to light since 1879 are described by MAU in his reports (see
note to Chap. IV) and in the Notizie degli scavi; cf. also HELBIG,
Untersuchungen ueber die campanische Wandmalerei (Leipzig, 1873).
Besides the reproductions of paintings by ZAHN and NICCOLINI mentioned
above (p. 544), the more important examples are published in the Real
Museo Borbonico (see Index at the end of vol. 16, pp. 37-58); ROUX,
Herculanum et Pompei, vols. 1-5 (Paris, 1840); ROCHETTE, Choix de
peintures de Pompei, la plupart de sujet historique (lithographiees en
couleur par M. Roux, et publiees ... par M. Raoul-Rochette; 7
livraisons in fol., Paris, 1844-1853, incomplete); PRESUHN, Pompeji,
Die neuesten Ausgrabungen von 1874 bis 1881 (Edit. 2, Leipzig, 1882;
80 chromolithograph plates); and in other works the titles of which
are easily accessible in Furchheim's Bibliografia. The colored plates
presented by A. NICCOLINI, Arte Pompeiana Monumenti scelti (a
selection of 55 plates from the larger work, Naples, 1888), give a
false idea of the paintings reproduced.
