EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the interior of the Small Theatre or Odeon in Pompeii, as illustrated by Stefano De Stefano and published in Antonio Niccolini's Pompeii: Views and Restorations in 1898. The Small Theatre, also known as Odeon VIII.7.19, is a remarkable example of Roman architecture and civilization that was preserved beneath the volcanic ash following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Antonio Niccolini, the grandson of the original architect Antonio Niccolini Sr., played a significant role in the excavation and restoration of Pompeii. His publication showcased the latest discoveries and restorations of the ancient city, providing a glimpse into its rich history and cultural significance. The Small Theatre, with its semicircular seating area and ornate marble decorations, was a popular venue for musical and theatrical performances during the Roman era. The stage, adorned with columns and a backdrop, would have been the focus of attention for the audience seated in the tiers of marble benches. The intricate details of the theatre's interior are beautifully captured in this chromolithograph, which invites us to imagine the lively scenes that once unfolded within its walls. The use of vibrant colors and precise shading adds depth and texture to the image, making it a captivating representation of Pompeii's architectural heritage.
