Restanten van het Huis van de Faun in Pompeï c. 1860 - 1900

This photograph, "Restanten van het Huis van de Faun in Pompeï", was taken by Italian photographer Roberto Rive in the late 19th century. The photo depicts the ruins of the House of the Faun in Pompeii, a Roman city buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the ancient Roman world, capturing the remnants of a once-grand dwelling. Rive's photograph, part of a larger series documenting Pompeii, offers a fascinating insight into the architectural details and the impact of the volcanic eruption.
