EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic eruption of the "Grand Brule" volcano on Ile de la Reunion in 1859. The image, taken from the heights of Bois Blanc by Mr. Merme, a naval artillery captain, offers a breathtaking view of nature's raw power. Engraved by Linton and featured in "The Illustrous World" publication in January 1859, this piece is a testament to the skill and artistry of French School. The eruption depicted here showcases the immense force and intensity with which lava spews from the volcano's crater. The vibrant colors used in this engraving bring life to an otherwise dangerous event, highlighting both its destructive beauty and awe-inspiring spectacle. Ile de la Reunion, located in the Mascareignes Islands off the coast of France, has long been known for its volcanic activity. This particular eruption left an indelible mark on history due to its magnitude and impact on local communities. Stefano Bianchetti's preservation of this historical moment through his fine art collection allows viewers to appreciate not only the artistic techniques employed but also serves as a reminder of our planet's volatile nature. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to that fateful day in 1859 when nature unleashed its fury upon Ile de la Reunion.
