EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the Apodyterium, or changing room, of the Tepidarium, or warm bath, in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. The image, created by the skilled hand of Giuseppe Discanno and beautifully rendered by D. Capri, invites us into this intriguing space. The servant, dressed in a simple tunic, stands ready to assist a bather with an oil vase and a towel. The table before him is adorned with various personal effects, hinting at the daily routines of the bathers. The servant's attentive gaze is fixed on the viewer, adding an intimate touch to the scene. The walls of the Apodyterium are adorned with intricate frescoes, including figures of Thelamon, the Roman god of the threshold, and various niches for personal belongings. These details provide a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of this ancient bathhouse. Antonio Niccolini, the grandson of the renowned architect Antonio Niccolini Sr., documented the ruins of Pompeii through his publication "Pompeii: Essaies et Restaurations." This image is a testament to the meticulous research and dedication of the Niccolini family in preserving the history and beauty of Pompeii for future generations. The Apodyterium serves as a reminder of the luxurious and intricate Roman bathing culture, which was an integral part of daily life. This stunning chromolithograph transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the elegance and sophistication of ancient Roman society.
