VI.9.2 Pompeii. c.1840. Room 29,
south wall. (?) Painting by James William Wild showing Cupids/Amorini.
At the top, on the left, he drew a small panel to
show where these could be found. However he did not give a location
!
On the right, he wrote –
“Centre of panels – the fields of the panel
orange yellow within “a to
a”, a
dark red margin with white line and pattern in it.
The figures very light
and gracefully touched – of the drapery - the shades are only a deepening of
the colour. The lights touched in white.”
The
Warscher photo, above, shows the dark edged square panels above the zoccolo/dado,
where we think these may have been found.
The Jashemski photo, above, (J68f0997) shows how faded the panels were in 1968.
Reading
PPP, and PPM, we are not sure whether there would have been two panels on both
the north and south wall, or just these two on the south wall.
It
looks like the west and east wall would have had a candelabra base in their
positions.
If
anyone knows anything different, we would be pleased to hear from them.
