EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving from 1776 captures a breathtaking view of the Island of Ischia as seen from the sea. The print, part of Sir William Hamilton's renowned work "Campi Phlegraei: Observations on the Volcanoes of the Two Sicilies" showcases the beauty and grandeur of this Italian island in exquisite detail. The composition highlights several key elements that make Ischia so captivating. In the foreground, a sailboat glides peacefully through calm waters, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. As we gaze further into the image, our eyes are drawn to Monte S. Nicola (Epomeus), towering majestically over the landscape. The town of Ischia is nestled at its base, with its charming buildings and narrow streets inviting exploration. Dominating the skyline is Castle Ischia, an imposing structure that has stood for centuries as a symbol of strength and resilience. The print also provides insight into Ischia's volcanic history. Strata layers can be observed along with Little Mountains created by previous eruptions. Additionally, there is evidence of past volcanic activity in sight - vapour rising from Crater erupted in 1302 adds an element of intrigue to this already captivating vista. Pietro Fabris' masterful hand-colouring brings vibrancy and life to every aspect captured within this illustration. It serves as both a historical document and a testament to human fascination with nature's wonders during Italy's Grand Tour era. As spectators
