Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. From the second century BC onward, prominent Romans retreated to their villas around the Bay of Naples, a popular vacation spot for relaxation and relief from the pressures of business. The picturesque bay provided an ideal setting in which to read and write, exercise, enjoy the gardens, admire the views, and entertain friends. Julius Caesar, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero all built seaside villas in Baiae, and the emperor Augustus vacationed in Sorrento, Capri, and Posillipo. The richly decorated imperial villas set high artistic standards in the region, and the sculptors and painters whom the emperors employed found clients among the urban and suburban elite in Pompeii and Herculaneum. The magnificent contents of these sumptuously appointed villas and townhouses are the subject of Pompeii and the Roman Villa, and with them the breadth and richness of cultural and artistic life that thrived around the Bay of Naples before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. An international team of experts, led by Carol C. Mattusch, examines this exquisite body of ancient Roman art, complemented by more than 200 lavish illustrations of paintings, sculpture, mosaics, frescoes, jewelry, glass, and more. With contributions by Mary Beard, Bettina Bergmann, Stefano De Caro, Pietro Giovanni Guzzo, Kenneth Lapatin, and Carol C. Mattusch. A sumptuous survey of life and art in Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the surrounding towns before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, published in association with the National Gallery of Art. Two large stains on the forward end paper, otherwise a very nice clean tight copy.

Seller's Description:
VG/VG: Exlibrary book. Stamp on free front end page. Stamp, sticker, and due date card on back pasted end page. Black casebound book. There is a dust jacket with the title in black on a white spine. Pages: (5), vi-xvi, (2), 1-365. Profusely illustrated with color images. "Julius Caesar, Caligula, Claudius and Nero all built seaside villas in Baiae; the emperor Augustus holidayed in Surrentum, Capreae and Pausilypon, and Tiberius retired to Capreae. The richly decorated imperial villas set high artistic standards in the region, and the sculptors and painters whom the emperors employed found clients among the urban and suburban elite in Pompeii and Herculaneum, Stabiae and Oplontis. The magnificent contents of these sumptuously appointed villas and town houses are the subject of Pompeii and the Roman Villa, and with them the breadth and richness of cultural and artistic life that thrived around the Bay of Naples before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Two related themes are interwoven through the essays: the influence of classical Greece on Roman art and culture around the bay, and the much later resurgence of this 'taste for the antique' in the modern world. An international team of experts, led by Carol C. Mattusch, examines this exquisite corpus of ancient Roman art, which is complemented by more than 350 lavish illustrations of paintings, sculpture, mosaics, frescoes, jewelry, glass and more."
