PINACOTHECA

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 616 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PINACOTHECA , a picture-gallery (Gr. a1-cvaKoO?7K17, from 7rivaE, a tablet or picture). The name is especially given to the building containing pictures which formed the left wing of the Propylaea on the
Acropolis
  at Athens. Though Pausanias (Bk. II., xxii. 6) speaks of the pictures " which time had not effaced," which seems to point to fresco
painting
 , the fact that there is no trace of any preparation for stucco on the walls rather shows that the paintings were easel pictures (J. G. Frazer, Pausanias's Description of
Greece
 , 1898, ii. 252). The Romans adopted the
term
  for the room in a private
house
  containing pictures, statues, and other works of art. It is used for a public gallery on the
continent
  of Europe, as at Bologna and
Turin
 . At
Munich
  there are two galleries known as the Old and New Pinakothek.
