PICTURING POMPEII FROM THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT TO THE VICTORIAN ERA
Speaker: T. BARTON THURBER, Ph.D., Curator of European Art, Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College
The systematic excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum beginning in the eighteenth century captured the imagination of scholars, visitors, and artists alike. The discovery of lavish residences and personal artifacts transformed the idea of the Roman world. Over the years, as a wealth of information was increasingly documented and published, artists recorded their firsthand impressions and created idealized reconstructions. These images illuminate the growing understanding of antiquity and reflect the perspectives of their own time.
