'ad' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'energy-filled paintings found around 505' is the wordplay.
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mcv).
'filled' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'paintings' becomes 'art' (painting is a type of artwork).
'found around' is an insertion indicator.
'505' becomes 'dv' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'e' going within 'art' is 'aert'.
'aert' enclosing 'dv' is 'ADVERT'.
