EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "View of Pompeii at the Moment of the Volcanic Eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79," offers a haunting glimpse into the final moments before the cataclysmic event that buried the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. The image, created by the skilled hands of artist C. Gel and printed by Dietrich, is a reproduction from Antonio Niccolini's "Pompeii: Views and Restorations" published in 1898. Antonio Niccolini was a renowned architect and grandson of the famous architect Antonio Niccolini Sr. His publication showcased the latest discoveries and restorations of the Pompeii excavations. This particular view presents a chaotic scene of residents in panic, fleeing the streets in the shadow of the ominous Mount Vesuvius. The large and small theatres, as well as the Quadriportico dei Teatri, can be seen in the background, now deserted and shrouded in ash and smoke. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius on August 24, A.D. 79, was a pivotal moment in history, as it preserved the Roman civilization beneath layers of volcanic material. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the destructive power of nature and the fragility of human existence. The chromolithograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Pompeii and the fascination it holds for scholars, historians, and visitors alike.
