Excerpt from A Complete Guide to the Small Bronzes and Gems in the Naples Museum, According to the New Arrangement: Reprinted From the Complete Handbook
The difference between the work of these Pompeian artists and that of the artificers of our utilitarian age is especially noticeable in, this rooms. Everything in a Roman house displayed the master hand of the artist in an unaffected but quite unmistakable manner; whereas our household chattels, being made to a pattern and in vast numbers, though they answer their purpose admirably, may justly be treated as being the production of a mechanical age, testifying rather to the skill of the artisan than to the taste of the artist.
