VII.4.59 Pompeii. Pre-1862 painting by Vincenzo Loria of oecus m, west wall.

According to Niccolini –

“PITTURA MURALE. - in questa tavola è evidentemente dimostrato che il seppellimento di Pompéi dovette avvenire in diversi periodi, ed in più o meno denso calorico. È però in­certo il precisare, se i rossi per tali circostanza, divennero gialli o viceversa, ma che ciò avvenisse e indubitato, come vedesi in questa parete tuttora esistente in Pompei.”  (Tav. LIII)

(trans: “WALL PAINTING. - in this table it is evidently demonstrated that the burial of Pompeii must have taken place in different periods, and in gretaer or lesser densities of heat. However, it is uncertain whether the reds became yellow under these circumstances or vice versa, but there is no doubt that this happened, as can be seen in this wall which still exists in Pompeii.”
