Text Appearing Before Image:
leaves and fruit formed a much coolerand more agreeable shade than stone. In the distance appears a marine villa. 230 POMPEIANA. PLATE LIX. Many authors of antiquity mention the pygmies^:three spans long, they were famous for conti-nually warring against the cranes; but here isone sustaining a much more unequal combat,which he appears to have escaped from, only bymeans of the less fortunate fate of his com-panion-. The temple is singular, from having a round pedi-ment. It is guarded in the Egyptian manner,by sphinges. In the front is an altar, with Mer-cury, and two other pygmy figures. PLATE LX. Is a curious architectural subject. Pliny, describinghis villa, says the hippodrome had cypressesplanted around. A sort of figure appears run-ning down to a boat, the perspective of whichdoes not seem well understood. The painting is obliterated to the right. • Homer—Aristotle—Pliny. * There is a subject which might class with these amongst theterra cottas of the British Museum, No. 36.
