In The Buried City, Gabriel Zuchtriegel takes us on a behind-the-scenes tour of Pompeii and reveals new archaeological finds that are being unearthed at the site’s biggest dig in a generation. As director of the Pompeii Archaeological Park, Zuchtriegel presents a uniquely intimate perspective on this city that was tragically destroyed and frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE.

This first major examination of his life and career tells of one artist’s contribution to national identity before and after political independence.

Power’s work, however, sprang from deeply held nationalist beliefs and he felt that subject matter alone was insufficient to ensure a ...

Ces affaires sont analysées pour lutter contre deux idées : non, il n’existe pas de “génie” du faux (sauf ceux qui n’ont pas été attrapés) ; oui, il y en a partout, et ils sont très difficilement détectables. 40 % des œuvres du Metropolitan Museum of Art de New York sont des faux – c’est du moins l’opinion de son ancien directeur, Thomas Hoving.
