EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing wall painting known as the "Wind demon" from Pompeii. Engraved by the German School in the 19th century, this artwork is now held in a private collection. The illustration was originally featured in Illustrierte Zeitung on May 7,1881. The Wind demon depicted here is an ornate and decorative representation of a devilish figure. Its intricate details and elaborate design highlight the artistic prowess of ancient Roman fresco painters. This piece offers us a glimpse into the rich history and artistry of Pompeii during its heyday. Pompeii, an ancient city buried under volcanic ash after Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, has long fascinated archaeologists and historians alike. This engraving serves as a reminder of the tragic fate that befell this once-thriving Roman empire. Beyond its historical significance, this artwork also holds scientific value as it relates to meteorology and climate studies. It provides insights into how people perceived weather patterns during antiquity. Through this striking image, we are transported back to early 19th-century Italy where artists sought inspiration from archaeological discoveries like those found at Pompeii. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this piece for all art enthusiasts to appreciate and admire without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any company
