Abstract

The relationship between Pompeii and the Voyage Picturesque appears as something important and unique in many respects. As a matter of fact, the large space dedicated to Pompeii in the second volume of the book in terms of text and pictures, represents a very important stage in the dissemination of Pompeian archeology, and in the description of a site that had not yet acquired the same reputation as Herculaneum, filling a gap which had been noted by scholars. The book by Saint-Non, far in advance of the success of the site of Pompeii, suggests and certifies its relevance not only in documenting the excavations in their contemporary consistency, but ideally reconstructing the site in antiquity, greatly contributing to the construction of a powerful imagery.
