EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of the Atrio di Cavallo between Somma and Vesuvius" takes us back in time to the 18th century, capturing a moment during the Grand Tour. The image is part of Sir William Hamilton's renowned book, Campi Phlegraei: Observations on the Volcanoes of the Two Sicilies, published in 1776. In this scene, we see a breathtaking landscape featuring the Bay of Naples as its backdrop. The imposing presence of Mount Vesuvius dominates the frame, with smoke billowing from its volcanic cone. A group of tourists can be seen exploring this awe-inspiring natural wonder while witnessing several volcanic eruptions. Among them is an elegantly dressed woman being carried in a sedan chair—a common mode of transportation for wealthy travelers at that time. This image not only showcases the beauty and grandeur of Italy but also provides insight into how people experienced travel during this era. The artist Pietro Fabris skillfully captures both the majesty and danger associated with volcanoes through his meticulous watercolor technique on paper. As part of Sir William Hamilton's collection, this artwork has become an invaluable historical document that allows us to glimpse into a bygone era when exploration and curiosity were paramount. This print from Fine Art Finder serves as a reminder that nature's wonders have always fascinated humanity throughout history—inspiring us to venture out and explore our world despite its inherent risks.
