1. Title: Mural from the House of Apollo at Pompeii: A Vibrant Testament to Ancient Roman Interior Design 2. Description: This handcolored lithograph showcases a stunning mural from the House of Apollo in Pompeii, Italy. Discovered during the 18th century excavations of the ancient Roman city, the House of Apollo is renowned for its exquisite wall paintings that have been preserved under volcanic ash since the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. The mural depicted in this print is a masterpiece of its time, reflecting the richness and diversity of Roman interior design. The central figure is the god Apollo, flanked by various deities and mythological creatures, all rendered in vivid colors that have been carefully hand-tinted onto the lithograph. The intricate details of the mural, including the swirling patterns and delicate floral motifs, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the ancient Roman painters. The House of Apollo, also known as the House of Apollo and the Four Seasons or Casa di Apollo e dei Quattro Stagioni, is believed to have been a luxurious villa owned by a wealthy Roman family. The mural is part of a larger series of decorative wall paintings that adorned the walls of the villa, each room featuring a different theme. This lithograph, created by Wilhelm Zahn and published by Dietrich Reimer in Berlin in 1870, is an accurate representation of the original mural, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and historical significance even today. The lithograph is an essential resource for scholars and enthusiasts of classical art, interior design, and history, providing a glimpse into the opulent world of ancient Roman life. 3.
