Summary

Description
English: The Naples Zoological Station Library in the frescoe room. The cycle of frescos depicting scenes from Neapolitan life, were created in 1873 by the German painter Hans von Marees and the German sculptor Adolf von Hildebrand. 1895. (Dohrn Archives)

"The fresco room at Stazione Zoologica Naples On the walls are notable frescoes by Hans v. Marees, one of the group of four especial friends of Dohrn when, in 1871, he was Privatdozent at the University of Jena. In the fresco on the east wall, Dohrn and these four friends, the biologist Kleinenberg, Charles Grant, the author of " Tales of Naples and the Camorra," the artist himself and the sculptor Hildebrand, are represented as grouped about a table at the ruins of the Palazzo di Donn' Anna on the Posilipo. In two other scenes, first Neapolitan fishermen are carrying the net from the shore and launching their boat and then four stalwart fishermen are rowing, standing in their characteristic manner and bending forward with each push upon the oar. On the south wall three ages of man are represented in an orange grove; the child lying on the sand and playing, the man in his prime gathering the ripe fruit and the old man bending over his spade. The ornamental panels between the frescoes and the frieze, as well as impressive busts of Darwin and Von Baer, are by

Hildebrand."
