EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate XXVII: Stromboli, an active volcano located in the Aeolian Islands off the north coast of Sicily, is depicted in this stunning observation from Sir William Hamilton's "Observations on the Volcanoes of the Two Sicilies," compiled between 1776 and 1779 during his tenure as Ambassador to the Kingdom of Naples. The image captures the raw power and beauty of the volcano during a daytime eruption, with plumes of ash and steam billowing from its crater and waves crashing against the rocky shoreline. Sir William Hamilton, a renowned Scottish scientist and art collector, was known for his meticulous documentation of natural phenomena, and this illustration is a testament to his keen observation and artistic skill. The painting also features a small ship in the foreground, adding a sense of scale and providing a glimpse into the exploration and discovery of the natural world during the Age of Enlightenment. With its vivid colors and intricate details, this historic print offers a captivating window into the past and the wonders of the volcanic landscape.
