EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Pompeian Feast Day Celebration in the New Fullonica (Fullers' Shop), Regio VI, Insula XIV, 21 This chromolithograph, created by Victor Steeger based on an illustration by Geremia Discanno, showcases a lively and colorful scene of a feast day celebration in ancient Pompeii. The painting originated from the newly discovered fullonica, or fullers' shop, located in Regio VI, Insula XIV, 21. The fullonica was an essential part of Roman civilization, where textiles were cleaned, dyed, and prepared for sale. The discovery of this well-preserved building, with its vibrant frescoes, provided a unique glimpse into the daily life of the ancient Roman world. In this painting, we see a joyous gathering of people, likely celebrating a religious or community event. The feast takes place in the central courtyard of the fullonica, surrounded by the various structures that housed the different stages of textile production. The scene is filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of the celebration. People of all ages and social classes are present, dressed in the colorful garments of the day. They are engaged in various activities, including feasting, dancing, and playing musical instruments. The atmosphere is one of merriment and unity, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Roman civilization. The meticulously detailed painting, with its lively colors and dynamic composition, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of Pompeii and the ancient Roman world. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of this classical civilization and the beauty and complexity of its art and architecture.
