TRIUMPH OF POMPEII FRESCOES Researchers are able to provide precise information on the technical details of the famous Roman wall paintings that survived the eruption in AD 79, shedding light on the painters themselves, their tools, the pigments they used, and the pattern books that probably circulated within the society they lived and worked in and which sponsored them. The mythological tale of Zeus in the shape of a swan, seducing the mortal Leda, fresco is just the latest of the many erotic scenes found in situ in Pompeii or hung in the archaeological museum in Naples.
