View of the Monte S. Angelo - A Glimpse into the Volcanic Contrasts of Nature
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-coloured engraving, captured in 1776 by Sir William Hamilton, takes us on a journey to the mesmerizing landscape surrounding Monte S. Angelo in Italy. The focal point of this print is the Convent of Camaldolefi Monks perched atop the ancient lava flows. Plate XI from Campi Phlegraei: Observations on the Volcanoes of the Two Sicilies showcases a striking contrast between an active volcano and one that has been dormant for many years. Here, we witness nature's resilience as vegetation thrives amidst once barren volcanic terrain. The eruption depicted here transports us back to a time when Mount Vesuvius was alive and fierce, with billowing smoke and ash towering above nearby towns such as Torre del Greco and Torre dell'Annonciata. Spectators gather at safe distances, marveling at both its destructive power and awe-inspiring beauty. Pietro Fabris masterfully captures every detail in this historical illustration, bringing to life an Italian landscape steeped in geological significance. This piece serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with volcanoes during the Grand Tour era. As part of our Historica Graphica Collection, this print offers a glimpse into not only natural wonders but also cultural heritage preserved through artistry. Let it transport you to an era where science met artistic expression, inviting contempl
