The result obtained received the most flattering judgments from the critics of the time and is actually surprisingly effective. From the introduction of the first volume: "The execution is the most accurate and the most splendid that could be desired. The colors are not those spoiled by the air, the sun and the weather, but make the tones warm and lively, which they shine on the walls of Pompeii, which have just been brought to light; and so the gaps too were conscientiously filled in.
