Image request

A quick image request: I am looking for images of reconstructions of domestic interiors, ones which include wall paintings, but also furniture and, if at all possible, lighting.
These images don't have to be 100% "accurate"--it's to illustrate a point I will make in a conference paper about the undue focus scholars place on the interpretations of wall paintings. Well, what I think is undue focus considering other "distracting" elements in these interiors--furniture, lighting elements, domestic objects with other figural decoration, etc. In other words, I simply want to give the impression these suites of multi-media decoration had.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Questi immagini non devono essere al 100% "scientificamente precisi" - sono per illustrare un punto che farò in una presentazione sulle interpretazioni degli affreschi: che c'è attenzione eccessiva su decorazione murale, considerando altri elementi di "distrazione" in questi interni - mobili, lampade, oggetti domestici con altri decorazione figurale, ecc.
Grazie!

Have you tried paintings by Alma-Tadema? He often uses pseudo-Pompeians with Pompeian backgrounds in his paintings, and he made a lot of photos in Pompeii, some of paintings, so he at least knows the territory - Peasy

Thanks for your comment! I had initially wanted to use more recent, "scientific" reconstructions, but images like those from Alma-Tadema do the trick (with a little caveat in my presentation).

I'd like to thank those who sent comments & photos directly to Jo on my behalf!

Grazie!
