EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Sketches of Mount Vesuvius" engraving by Arthur Hopkins, a renowned artist from the 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on May 18,1872. The image takes us back to the mesmerizing Bay of Naples in Italy, where Mount Vesuvius stands tall and majestic. Hopkins' sketches beautifully capture the ascent up this iconic volcano, providing an incredible view of its crater and surrounding landscape. In one sketch, we see a group enjoying breakfast at a dining table nestled amidst the north-western slopes of Mount Vesuvius. They savor their meal while taking in the awe-inspiring sight before them – billowing smoke rising from the cone and rivers of lava flowing down its sides. These sketches offer us a glimpse into life during that time period as well as an appreciation for Italian culture and cuisine. The presence of the Italian flag reminds us that this stunning natural wonder is located within Europe's borders. As we admire this remarkable piece by Arthur Hopkins, we are transported to another era where people would gather for morning meals with such breathtaking views. It serves as a reminder not only of our fascination with volcanoes but also how art can transport us through time and space.
