EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "View of the island of Stromboli taken by Monsieur Fabris, 1776" offers a glimpse into the mesmerizing beauty and raw power of nature during the 18th century. The print is part of Sir William Hamilton's renowned publication, "Campi Phlegraei: Observations on the Volcanoes of the Two Sicilies" which documented volcanic activity in Italy. The image transports us to the Lipari Islands, specifically Stromboli, where an active volcano dominates the landscape. In this scene, sailing ships gracefully navigate through turbulent waters as smoke billows from the fiery crater atop Mount Stromboli. The plume rises high into a clear sky while lava flows cascade down its slopes with awe-inspiring force. Monsieur Fabris skillfully captures this dramatic moment in history when volcanic eruptions were both feared and revered. His meticulous attention to detail brings life to every element within this illustration - from the vibrant colours that enhance each nuance of light and shadow to his precise depiction of Roman archaeological sites dotting the coastline. As we gaze upon this historical gem from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, we are reminded not only of mankind's fascination with natural phenomena but also our own insignificance in comparison to Mother Nature's immense power. This print serves as a testament to human curiosity and exploration during grand tours undertaken by aristocrats seeking knowledge and cultural enrichment.
