EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Arabesque with Stag and Mask of Pan from the Domus Vedi Sirici in Pompeii This stunning chromolithograph depicts two exquisite wall paintings discovered in the Domus Vedi Sirici, also known as the House of Siricus, in Pompeii. The top portion of the image showcases an elaborate arabesque design, which is a decorative motif inspired by the natural world. The arabesque is adorned with intricate patterns and shapes, including stylized leaves, flowers, and vines. At the center of this design, a stag is gracefully depicted, its antlers entwined with the arabesque elements. Above the stag, the mischievous figure of Cupid is playfully peeking out from behind a leafy branch. Beneath the arabesque, a panel displays a captivating mask of Pan, the Roman god of nature, shepherds, and flocks. Pan is often depicted with the horns of a goat, pointed ears, and a beard. His mask is surrounded by a wreath of ivy and grapes, symbolizing his connection to the natural world. The mask's intricate details, such as the expressive eyes and the delicate carving of the leaves, demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship of the ancient Roman artists. These wall paintings were discovered in the Domus Vedi Sirici, a luxurious Roman villa located in the ancient town of Pompeii. The villa, which dates back to the 1st century AD, is named after its owner, Lucius Caecilius Iucundus. The Domus Vedi Sirici is a testament to the opulence and sophistication of Roman civilization, as well as the artistic achievements of the ancient world. This chromolithograph, created by Victor Steeger after an illustration by Geremia Discanno, offers a glimpse into the rich history and artistic heritage of Pompeii and the Roman Empire. It is a beautiful reminder of the intricate designs and vibrant colors that once adorned the walls of Roman homes and public spaces.
