Romische Glaskunst Und Wandmalerei

The contributors to this volume consider that evidence from everyday Roman glassware is just as important as the high status decorative wares. With examples mostly from the collection at the Landesmuseum Mainz, this book presents a dazzling spectrum of Roman art in this field. Both glassware and wall-painting (the most famous examples coming from Pompeii) are seen to be representative of one of the most lively, most accessible and most down-to-earth sides to Roman art, glass vessels and murals having been very much part of everyday Roman life. This book explores and celebrates this combination of art and life. German text.
