<p><font size="1"> On 24th August 79 A.D., Mount Vesuvius erupted,
engulfing Pompeii and Herculaneum. In 1710, local people digging
a well chanced upon three magnificent Roman marble statues from
the theatre of Herculaneum. This started the full scale exploration
of the surrounding sites and led to some of the most astonishing
and poignant archaeological finds ever made. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">This exhibition, mounted by the Accademia Italiana
Delle Arti E Delle Arti Applicate at the Roundhouse's Undercroft,
consists of paintings, drawings, gouaches and engravings which chronicle
the eruption and the subsequent archeological discoveries. There
are also some fascinating photographs of archeological digs in the
early 20th century. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Writing in the Standard, art critic Brian Sewell
said that the exhibition was: "Strangely more evocative than the
ruins of Pompeii itself, communicating the struggle to recover it,
evocative of the awe and horror of the eruption that engulfed the
city, and in the change in archaeological purpose after its rediscovery.
It is a ghastly yet wonderful tale dramatically told." </font></p>
<p><font size="1">"Pompeii: Images from the Buried Cities" runs until
September 2nd at the Undercroft, The Roundhouse, Chalk Farm Road,
London NW1.<br>
</font><font size="1"> Opening times: Tuesday to Friday, 12.00-6.00pm
<br>
Saturday & Sunday 12.00-7.00pm <br>
Admission �4 (concessions �2) </font></p>
