EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving from Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" captures the aftermath of a volcanic eruption at Mt. Vesuvius, with the path of lava flowing through Torre del Greco in Naples. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the destructive power of nature as it ravages the landscape.
Friedrich Johann Bertuch, a renowned German publisher and man of arts, created this masterpiece as part of his encyclopedia for children, filled with 1,200 engraved plates on various subjects including natural history, science, costume, and mythology. Published between 1790-1830, Bertuch's work aimed to educate and inspire young minds through captivating visuals like this one.
The chaotic flow of lava cutting through the city is both terrifying and awe-inspiring, showcasing the raw beauty and danger that comes with living near an active volcano. The meticulous rendering of each building in Torre del Greco adds a sense of realism to the scene, making it feel like you are witnessing the devastation firsthand.
