Pompeii_ (Museum) Corpse of a man, No. 5573 c. 1870 - 1880

Giacomo Brogi's photograph *Pompeii (Museum)* shows a preserved body of a man from the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. The image, dated c. 1870-1880, is a powerful reminder of the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. The victim, identified as No. 5573, is shown encased in a glass display, a stark contrast to the life they once led. This photograph, now in the Städel Museum, was part of Brogi's extensive documentation of Pompeii's archaeological discoveries and offers a chilling glimpse into the past.
