EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, immersing us in the picturesque Italian landscape. The image captures a mesmerizing view of a hollow road that winds its way from the renowned Grotto of Pausilipo to Pianura. Sir William Hamilton, an esteemed observer and author, documented this enchanting scene in his publication "Campi Phlegraei: Observations on the Volcanoes of the Two Sicilies" in 1776. The hand-coloured engraving showcases remarkable attention to detail, bringing life and vibrancy to every element within the frame. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported into a world where nature's beauty intertwines with human-made structures. The composition is filled with intriguing elements such as spectators observing Fabris' work, volcanic ash scattered across the ground, and ancient tree trunks standing tall amidst layers of strata. These details offer glimpses into both geological history and human interaction with their surroundings during that era. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into Italy's rich heritage. It invites us to embark on our own grand tour through time as we explore this magnificent Italian landscape captured by Pietro Flavio Fabris between 1768-1778. Let your imagination wander along this hollow road and experience firsthand the awe-inspiring beauty preserved within these historical pages from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection.
