CHAPTER LIV

. PAINTING. WALL DECORATION

_Technique of Pompeian painting_: DONNER, Die erhaltenen antiken Wandmalereien in technischer Beziehung, printed as an introduction to Helbig's Wandgemaelde (see Chap. LV.), pp. I--CXXVII; MAU, Geschichte der decorativen Wandmalerei in Pompeji (Berlin, 1882; with atlas of 20 plates).

_Specimen illustrations_: Many entire walls as well as single paintings are reproduced in color in the extensive works by ZAHN, Die schoensten Ornamente und merkwuerdigsten Gemaelde aus Pompeji, Herkulanum und Stabiae, nebst einigen Grundrissen und Ansichten (Mit deutschem und franzoesischem Text. Drei Abtheilungen in 30 Heften, 302 Tafeln. Berlin, 1827-1859); and NICCOLINI, Le case ed i monumenti di Pompei designati e descritti (Naples, 1854-1901). Both works are rarely found complete, and the plates of the second in particular leave much to be desired in respect to drawing as well as coloring; it has therefore been thought best not to encumber these notes with detailed references to them. A number of walls are shown also by ROUX, Herculanum et Pompei (8 vols., Paris, 1840), vol. 1 (108 plates), and by D'AMELIO, Dipinti Murali di Pompei, Naples, 1888. Professor Mau has in preparation a new work on wall decoration which will be illustrated by colored plates similar to those in the atlas to his Wandmalerei. The sources of the illustrations in this and the following chapter are given in our List of Illustrations, p. xxv.
