POMPEIANA de William Gell (éd. de 1832)

Plate LXVI - Jupiter

Back to chapter 13

Plate LXVI gives the representation of a picture of Jupiter painted on the wall of the portico. There is an air of ease, yet combined with thought and majesty, about this figure, rarely surpassed, which will render even this record of its existence pleasing and interesting to lovers of the arts. It is now quickly disappearing from the wall.
