EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing collection of Marble and other mixed stones from the renowned Vesuvius volcano. Taken from Sir William Hamilton's groundbreaking publication "Campi Phlegraei: Observations on the Volcanoes of the Two Sicilies" this hand-colored engraving, created by Pietro Fabris in 1776, offers a glimpse into the world of scientific taxonomy during the Enlightenment era. The image is an exquisite display of nature's artistry, presenting a diverse range of black metamorphic limestone, colorful granite, and pristine white marble specimens. Each stone exhibits its unique patterns and variegated textures, forming an enchanting mosaic that captures both scientific curiosity and aesthetic beauty. As we delve into this visual treasure trove, we are transported to Italy's volcanic landscapes where these stones originated. The vibrant hues and intricate designs tell stories of ancient geological processes that have shaped our planet over millennia. Beyond their scientific significance, these polished specimens also serve as artistic masterpieces in their own right.
