EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Wall Paintings of Candlelabra from a House on Strada de Mercadanti, Pompeii 2. Description: This handcoloured lithograph showcases a stunning discovery from the ancient Roman city of Pompeii - wall paintings of candlelabra adorning the walls of a house located on Strada de Mercadanti. The image, excavated by Prince Carl Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach in 1838, provides a glimpse into the rich decorative traditions of Roman architecture. The candlelabra, or candelabra, are intricately designed ornamental features that were commonly used in Roman mural and fresco painting. These decorative elements were often depicted as freestanding structures or integrated into the wall design, adding an elegant and sophisticated touch to the interiors. The candlelabra in this image are adorned with intricate floral motifs, scrollwork, and geometric patterns, reflecting the exquisite craftsmanship of Roman artisans. The lithograph is based on an illustration by Wilhelm Zahn, published in his influential work "Ornament of All Classical Art Eras" (Ornamente aller klassischen Kunst-Epochen) in 1838. Zahn's comprehensive collection of decorative motifs from various classical art periods provided inspiration for architects, designers, and artists, making this image an essential resource for those interested in the history of art and design. The handcoloured lithograph by Konter, produced from Zahn's illustration, showcases the vibrant colours and intricate details of the original wall paintings, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and sophistication of Roman art and decoration. 3.
