This volume examines the influence that Pompeii and, to a lesser
extent, Herculaneum had on the visual and performing arts in Spain
and countries across South America. Covering topics from
architecture, painting and decorative arts to theatre, dance and
photography, the reader will gain insight into the reception of
classical antiquity through the analysis of the close cultural ties
between both sides of the Atlantic, in the past and the present.
Each contribution has been written by a specialist researcher
participating in the project, ‘The Reception and Influence of
Pompeii and Herculaneum in Spain and Ibero-America’, funded by
the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation
(PGC2018-093509-B-I00 Ministry of Science and
Innovation/AEI/ERDF/EU). Pompeii in the Visual and Performing Arts
begins by examining the influence of Pompeiian architecture in
Spain in paintings that depict scenes inspired by Roman scenes and
also buildings modelled on those of Pompeii. Next, the influence of
Pompeii crosses the Atlantic to Mexico with a study of the
archaeological site’s influence on the visual and performing
arts. An exploration of the elitist use of the ancient past in
architecture is seen in Chilean architecture, which leads onto an
investigation of the new art styles that emerged in the 19th
century. Later chapters look into the influence of the ancient
frescoes and the use of modern plaster casts of statues. The final
chapters are devoted to comics and photography, which also make a
study of the places in Latin America nicknamed ‘Pompeii’ in the
20th and 21st centuries.
