I.4.25 Pompeii. Pre-1943. Room 37, west wall? According to Warscher – on the west wall was the painting of “Adonis and Aphrodite. (Sulla parete ovest era la pittura “Adone e Afrodite”, vedi Olga Elia, fig.16, p.25). See Warscher, T. 1942. Catalogo illustrato degli affreschi del Museo Nazionale di Napoli. Sala LXXXII. Vol.4.

I.4.25 Pompeii. December 2007. Room 37, triclinium on west side of lower peristyle. Looking at west wall. The west wall used to have a wall painting of Endymion and Selene. The south wall used to have a wall painting of Adonis and Aphrodite. Both these paintings are now lost. The floor was black and white marble. There seems to be some confusion as to what was on the south or west walls, see Warscher above. According to Warscher – on the west wall one cannot see any traces of decoration. The room gives the impression of total devastation: it was difficult to show that it had been adorned with paintings. (Sulla parete ovest non si vede nessuna traccia di decorazione. La stanza da l’impressione d’una devastazione totale: era difficile rappresentarci che essa fosse adorna di quadri.) See Warscher, T. 1942.
