I.7.19 Pompeii. December 2006. Looking east in cubiculum, in north-east corner of peristyle. According to Peters, on the east wall was found a large sacral-idyllic landscape. The painting was enclosed in a segmental arch, the landscape surrounded by a flat, dark band. The lower portion had suffered from damp (even in 1963) and could only be described from a photo taken in earlier years. Above the aedicula, a nearly square painting also pictured a landscape with a figure, probably Marsyas. See Peters, W.J.T. (1963): Landscape in Romano-Campanian Mural Paintings.The Netherland, Van Gorcum & Comp. (p.68-69, & fig.49)
