• A monumental archaeological and art historical study of the legendary Villa dei Misteri (Villa of the Mysteries) in Pompeii, remarkably preserved after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Authored by the famed Italian archaeologist Amedeo Maiuri, this meticulously researched second edition was completely rewritten following World War II to serve as the definitive record of Rome’s finest impressionist-period monumental fresco painting.Complete 2-volume folio set: Volume I features 260 pages of academic text, site layout surveys, architectural diagrams, and embedded monochrome figures with red contextual highlights. Volume II acts as an independent portfolio casing housing a pristine suite of 18 vibrant offset color plates loosely tipped onto heavy grey card stock frames (passepartout), alongside a large-scale folding architectural ground plan of the site. Bound in the original ivory cream boards beautifully stamped in gold gilt with a central classical Silenus mask and dancing youth motif. Both volumes are housed securely in their scarce, original custom-fitted protective cardboard slipcases. Minor shelf wear and light age-toning to the slipcase and outer boards; contents remain remarkably clean, bright, and securely bound.…
