II.2.2 Pompeii. March 2009. Doorway to room “a”, cubiculum on west side of atrium.

As a result of the bombing of 19th September 1943, nearly all of the IV Style decoration of the central cubiculum was lost.

The decoration from the north and west wall, and part of the south wall, were destroyed.

Two figured paintings were badly damaged in this cubiculum.

One was “The rape of Europa”, only partially damaged and restored.

The other was of a female, possibly the daughter of the household, according to Della Corte.

Warscher said “in the rooms surrounding the atrium, we find well-preserved paintings.

The portrait of a young girl in the room on the right side is very fine, probably it is the daughter of the owner.”

II.2.2 Pompeii. Old photograph of south wall of room “a” cubiculum.

The south wall showed a central painting of Europa and the Bull, with two medallions and imitation painted windows, prior to the 1943 bombing.

The zoccolo/dado was painted black and the middle zone of the walls would have been yellow.
