{"product_id":"pompei-treccani-6","title":"Pompeii - Treccani","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e In the series \"Vesuvian Cities and Their Fortune,\" the volume \"Pompeii,\" published in 2003, edited by Giovanni Pugliese Carratelli and co-edited by Antonio Giuliano, brings together a large number of drawings preserved in the National Museum of Naples. These drawings show the condition of the paintings (both on the buildings and their floors) at the time of their discovery, paintings that later partially faded or even disappeared due to prolonged exposure to the elements. Several views of the excavations are also published. The discovery of Herculaneum, and then that of Pompeii, gave rise to a taste that spread widely throughout Europe, influencing a wide variety of applied art. To demonstrate the importance that European culture placed on discoveries—especially paintings—some illustrations published in the Antichità di Ercolano are reproduced outside the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003ePublished together are color photographs of the branches taken from the drawings made in Pompeii by Giovan Battista Piranesi shortly before his death (branches probably engraved by his son Francesco).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e The period particularly highlighted in the volume is that between approximately 1770 and 1870, when photography had not yet taken over the interpretative skills of individual designers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e The volume measures 26.5 x 34 cm, with a Bodonian binding and a slipcase in hand-tanned full-grain leather in amaranth red.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VQ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56219297087874,"sku":"VQ","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/scavi-di-pompei.jpg?v=1768479958","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/pompei-treccani-6","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
