VIII.5.24 Pompeii. Room 1, perhaps east wall of atrium.
Painting by Francesco Morelli, of a wall with central painting of Venus and Adonis (Helbig 336).
There is some doubt of the actual location of this wall, as it may have been from VIII.5.28.
Fiorelli (Descrizione, p.447) described it as from the west ala of VIII.5.28, -
“which contained some paintings, amongst which was one with the figures of Adonis sitting on the lap of Venus, with a dog at their feet, and two cupids at their sides”.
Gell drew a similar sketch of the painting, which he stated was from Apothecaries House, VIII.3.12.
Now in Naples Archaeological Museum. Inventory number ADS 886.
