EDITORS COMMENTS

Dating back to the 5th or 4th century BC, this artwork captures the essence of Roman art and European history. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the majestic Vesuvius volcano towering in the background. Its presence serves as a constant reminder of both beauty and destruction, as it was responsible for burying Pompeii under layers of volcanic ash during its infamous eruption in AD 79.

Alinari. it has expertly captured this momentous scene from over a century ago, preserving it for all enthusiasts of archaeology, history, and art alike.
