EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic eruption of the Santorini volcano, as depicted in the illustration from Etudes sur les Volcans. Created by artist Julius or Jules Schmidt and engraved by Druck and Arnold in 1881, this color lithograph showcases the raw power and intensity of nature's fury. The eruption of the Santorini volcano took place on February 22,1866, making it a significant event in history. The image transports us to that momentous occasion, where billowing plumes of smoke rise into the sky against a backdrop of the stunning Cyclades landscape. As we gaze at this artwork, we are reminded of the geological study behind volcanoes and their impact on our planet. The swirling volcanic gases mix with debris as they erupt from George volcano on Santorini Island. The ash-filled plume engulfs everything in its path while simultaneously creating an awe-inspiring spectacle. It is worth noting that Santorini has long been associated with myths and legends; it is one of the presumed sites for Atlantis, an ancient city lost to time. This adds another layer of intrigue to this already mesmerizing image. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever – a testament to both human artistic skill and Mother Nature's immense power. It serves as a reminder that even amidst destruction and chaos, there is undeniable beauty within our natural world.
