The study of Pompeian afterlife aims to achieve three major results. One is to record ancient Pompeian material and Pompeian influences in Sweden from the 18th century to the present. Another is to discuss the motivation behind the references made to Pompeii in classicising architecture and interior decoration. The third is to put the Swedish experience in a larger, international context.
The header Collections will house two reasoned indexes. One presenting Swedish architect sketches from Pompeii (in progress), the other early modern and modern interior decoration influenced by Pompeian decorations.
The import of sketches from the collection of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts is made in collaboration between the Academy and the Swedish Pompeii Project. Copy right of the images belongs to the Academy.
In all this collection amounts to c. 200 items.
New material will be added during 2010.
