Fausto & Felice Niccolini – Houses and Monuments of Pompeii

Preserved beneath volcanic ash for centuries, Pompeii emerges as a singular record of everyday life in the ancient world. Drawing on the pioneering work of Fausto and Felice Niccolini, this volume revives a landmark 19th-century documentation of the city through richly detailed color lithographs. From grand public monuments to intimate domestic interiors, it reveals frescoes, objects, and spaces with unprecedented clarity, capturing Pompeii not as a ruin, but as a living city. At once scholarly and visually arresting, the book stands as both a testament to early archaeological inquiry and an enduring source of artistic inspiration.
