The National Archeological Museum is one of the
most ancient and important museums for the
abundance and uniqueness of its heritage and for
the contribution it offered the European cultural
survey. The origin and the constitution of its
collections are connected with Charles III of
Bourbon, on the throne of the Kingdom of Naples
since 1734, and his cultural policy. The king
promoted the exploration of the Vesuvian towns
buried by the eruption of 79 AD (started in 1738
in Herculaneum, in 1748 in Pompeii) and looked
after the carrying out of a Museo Farnesiano in
the town, transferring from the palaces of Rome
and Parma part of the rich collection inherited
from his mother Elizabeth Farnese. His son
Ferdinando IV stimulated the project for the
joining together in the present building,
constructed at the end of the 16th century as a
riding school and from 1616 till 1777 seat of
University, both the Farnese Collection
(Collezione Farnese) and the collection of
Vesuvian findings already exhibited in the Museo
Ercolanense inside the Royal Palace in Portici.
The collections of the Museum, become National in
1860, went enriching by the acquisition of
findings coming from the excavations in the sites
of Campania and Southern Italy and from private
collections. The transfer of the Picture-Gallery
to Capodimonte in 1957 determines its present
characterization of Archeological Museum

The temple of Isis and the structures pertaining
to it - which make up a full-fledged sanctuary
area was unearthed between 1764 and 1766.
Almost intact, it decisively contributed to
making Pompeii known to the world. Model of

Aphrodite anadiomene The marble statuette was
found on February 16th 1765 in the portico of the
Temple of Isis in Pompeii and portrays Aphrodite
coming out of the water. The presence of the
statuette in the temple of Isis is to be
connected to the strong syncretism in the cult of
the two goddesses, which is also supported by the
use of Isiac attributes in the representations of
Pompeian Venus

The wall painting was brought to light on October
in the sacrarium of the Temple. On the wall is
depicted a moment of navigium Isidis the
transport of Osiris by Isis. It is the transport
of the sacred water, symbol of Osiris
regenerator, whose body, torn to pieces by Seth
(Egyptian god of Chaos) had been reassembled by
goddess Isis, who had raised him with her love.
In the lower register are depicted two big snakes
slithering towards a wicker basket with a conical
lid, adorned with a crescent moon and placed on a
small pillar, behind which sprout two flowered
spirals that close the composition. The wicker
basket with a conical lid, which was not known in
the Egyptian world and probably derives from
mystery cults of Hellenistic tradition, was
carried in procession during the ceremony of
navigium Isidis, but its contents are still
unknown

Skyphos with an Egyptian-style scene The skyphos,
found in the frigidarium of Villa San Marco at
Stabiae, was created in a unique block of
obsidian and presents a deep basin with vertical
sides on base, with two circular handles joined
to the body of the vessel and to the rim with
sculptural elements. The skyphos of Alexandrine
production is a document of extraordinary
importance both for the value of the materials
used and for the refinement of the technique

In 1738 Charles of Bourbon gave permission for
excavations to take place that led to the
discovery of the first painted plasters,
fragments of marble and bronze, sculptures ans
inscriptions. These finds would influence the
arts, culture, fashion, craft and tastes of the
western world until the beginning of the 20
century
39
The Bourbons followed the fashion by having
copies of ancient paintings made for the
decoration of modern rooms. One example is the
room known today as the Pompeian Room of the
Capodimonte Palace (originaly the bedroom of
Frances I and Maria Isabella, married in 1802)
which reproduces paintings discovered at Pompeii
and Herculaneum

When word spread to Britain of the sensational
discovery of the Roman towns of Pompeii and
Herculaneum in the 18th century, "Pompeiian red"
became the favoured colour for smart dining-rooms
as it remains today. But, it seems, it may be
time to get out the paint chart. According to new
research presented to Sapienza University in
Rome, large swaths of the vivid "Pompeiian red"
frescoes in the town actually began life as
yellow and were turned red by the gases emitted
from Vesuvius as it erupted in AD 79. Experts
have long realised that some of the
characteristic vivid reds of the frescoes in
Pompeii and Herculaneum were originally yellow.
But a new study, conducted by Italy's National
Institute of Optics, suggests the sheer extent of
the colour change.
