EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing view of a section of the cone of Astruni, taken at the entrance of this majestic volcano. Plate XIX from Campi Phlegraei: Observations on the Volcanoes of the Two Sicilies, by Sir William Hamilton (1730-1803), published in 1776, showcases this hand-coloured engraving by Pietro Fabris. The image is part of a private collection and offers an intriguing glimpse into the geological wonders found within Italy's volcanic landscape. In this scene, we witness a bustling archeological site where workers diligently excavate amidst layers of vitrified cinders and strata. The figures toil away against a picturesque backdrop, surrounded by lava formations and pumice remnants. Oxen stand patiently nearby, their presence adding an element of rustic charm to the grandeur unfolding before our eyes. The photograph transports us back in time to an era when explorers embarked on their grand tours through Europe's natural wonders. It serves as a testament to Sir William Hamilton's dedication to documenting these extraordinary geological phenomena for future generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded not only of nature's raw power but also humanity's relentless curiosity and determination to uncover its secrets. This image encapsulates both the beauty and scientific significance that lie within Astruni's crater—a true testament to Italy’s rich volcanic heritage.
