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 houses a reasoned index, presenting Swedish architect sketches from Pompeii (in progress).
The import of sketches from the collection of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts (Konstakademien) is made in collaboration between the Academy and the Swedish Pompeii Project. Copyright of the images belongs to the Academy.
In all this collection amounts to c. 200 items.
The Pompeii Revived Collections page contains paintings, drawings and other reproductions of different Pompeian interiors and sites by Swedish artists.
The presentation below was made possible through a grant from Berit Wallenbergs Stiftelse and with the permission of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts. The collection consists of about 200 water coulours and sketches made by Swedish architects in Pompeii and conserved in the archives of the Academy.
