EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate IX from Campi Phlegraei: Observations of the Volcanoes of the two Sicilies" takes us back to a time before the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1767. The hand-coloured engraving by Pietro Fabris showcases the mesmerizing beauty and raw power of this iconic volcano. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a landscape filled with smoke and ash, where towering volcanic cones dominate the horizon. The image captures the essence of vulcanology and geology, showcasing nature's incredible ability to shape our world. Sir William Hamilton, Britain's envoy to Naples during that period, meticulously observed these volcanoes and documented his findings in his renowned work "Campi Phlegraei". This particular plate offers us a glimpse into Hamilton's scientific observations as well as his artistic sensibilities. The composition beautifully depicts Mount Vesuvius' crater before it unleashed its fury upon Pompeii and Herculaneum. We can almost feel the tension building within this dormant giant as it prepares for an eruption that would forever change history. This print serves as a reminder of both nature's awe-inspiring beauty and its potential for destruction. It is a testament to human curiosity and exploration, capturing a moment frozen in time when science met art on the slopes of one of Italy's most famous volcanoes.
