The book is a scholarly study of the still life paintings found in the houses and villas of Pompeii and Herculaneum, two cities buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. The book examines how still life imagery developed across the Second, Third, and Fourth Pompeian Styles, analysing their composition, colour, motifs, and placement within domestic wall decoration. Beyen explores how everyday objects such as fruit, vessels, food, and small decorative items were arranged to create symbolic, aesthetic, and illusionistic effects within Roman interiors.
