Captured around 1860 by Giacinto Gigante, this colour lithograph showcases the remarkable ruins of Pompeii against the backdrop of Mount Vesuvius emitting smoke. The image transports us to a world where grandeur once reigned supreme. The imposing Temple of Jupiter stands tall, its weathered columns telling tales of Roman glory. Adjacent to it lies the Forum, an epicenter of political and social life during Pompeii's heyday. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of the incredible archaeological discoveries that have allowed us to piece together fragments from a lost civilization.
