Bask in the breathtaking beauty of the Bay of Naples, where the azure waters meet the dramatic landscapes of volcanic wonders. Witness the awe-inspiring views of Mount Vesuvius from the sea shore at Campi Phlegraei (Plate XI), or gaze upon its majestic peak from the Harbour of Naples (oil on canvas, 1791, pair 121416). Marvel at the bird's eye perspective of the terrain raised by volcanic explosions (Plate XXXI), and explore the tranquil valley of Atrio di Cavalio (1776). Do not forget to visit the Convent of Camaldolefi Monks perched atop the Monte S. Angelo (Plate XI and 1776), and witness the power of nature as depicted in the engraving, "The Eruption of Mount Vesuvius." Gaze upon Naples from the picturesque town of Pausilipo (Plate III), and let the enchanting vistas of Campi Phlegraei leave you in awe. Giovanni Battista Lusieri's painting, "The Bay of Naples with Mounts Vesuvius," captures the essence of this magical place, where the past and present meet in a symphony of natural wonder.
