Rediscovering the Ancient World on the Bay of Naples, 1710-1890 - Studies in the History of Art Series
Carol C. Mattusch
The ancient Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 C E., drew international attention when excavations commenced in the 1730s. This book examines responses to the excavations by 18th- and 19th-century monarchs, statesmen, scholars, and archaeologists, as well as by artists, architects, and writers.
