Summary: "Antiquités d'Herculanum, Tome III. Peintures" by Tommaso Piroli is a historical publication written in the early 19th century. This volume is part of a series documenting the art and culture of ancient Rome, specifically the paintings uncovered in the archeological excavations of Herculaneum. The book showcases various artworks, connecting them to mythological themes and providing detailed descriptions that illuminate the cultural significance of the pieces. The opening of this work introduces a series of paintings found during excavations, starting with two related figures that are identified as possibly depicting Venus and Vulcan. The text describes how the characters and their actions suggest themes of love and harmony, while also touching on the social practices of ancient times. Each painting is meticulously analyzed, offering interpretations that relate the visuals to broader mythological narratives and the cultural practices associated with Bacchus and other deities, thus setting the stage for further artistic explorations throughout the volume.
