Description
View of reproduction of Apollo statue in bronze at the Casa del Citarista in Pompeii, Italy. "The house of the Citharista (Casa del Citarista), or of Lucius Popidius Secundus ... consisted originally of two houses, which were made into one by an opening between two of the peristylia. The Apollo citharista was found in this house ... The bronze statue is life size and deliberately archaic in style,"--Pompeii, the City, Its Life & Art, by Pierre Gusman. "The house was called "the Citharist" after the discovery of a bronze statue of Apollo and a harpist who was placed in the peristyle (today in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples along with seven large paintings),"--Pompeii Online.
