Thanks to Mary Beard's blog post of today, Pompeii in Washington DC, we have word of an exhibition at the National Gallery of Art which I overlooked and which will end March 22, only to move to on to the
Los Angeles County Museum of Art, May 3–October 4, 2009, so readers out there will be able to see it.
Here is the related website, Pompeii and the Roman Villa: Art and Culture around the bay of Naples. An exhibition brochure can be downloaded as PFD file. It's nicely illustrated, including a painting by the inevitable (?) Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, titled "A Sculpture Gallery."
And here is Mary Beard's book: The Fires of Vesuvius: Pompeii Lost and Found, December 2008, Belknap Press.
