Campi Phlegraei
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Plate VII), an exquisite observation of the volcanic landscapes of the Two Sicilies, is a testament to the exploratory spirit of Sir William Hamilton during his tenure as Ambassador to the Kingdom of Naples in the late 18th century. This stunning illustration, compiled in Naples between 1776 and 1779, showcases the breathtaking beauty and raw power of the Campi Flegrei (Phlegraean Fields) volcanic complex located near the Bay of Naples, Italy. Sir William Hamilton, a renowned Scottish scholar and diplomat, was not only an accomplished diplomat but also an avid collector of art and natural history. His keen interest in geology and volcanology led him to closely observe and document the active volcanoes of the region. This illustration, produced during the daytime hours, captures the otherworldly landscape of the Campi Phlegraei, with its steaming vents, conical peaks, and diverse landforms. The painting, executed in a detailed and meticulous style, offers a bird's-eye view of the volcanic complex, revealing the intricate interplay between the various geological features. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow enhances the sense of depth and three-dimensionality, inviting the viewer to explore the landscape further. The Campi Phlegraei, also known as the Phlegraean Fields, have long been a source of fascination for scientists, artists, and travelers alike. Sir William Hamilton's "Campi Phlegraei" (Plate VII) remains an invaluable record of this unique and dynamic landscape, providing insights into the geomorphology and geological history of the region. This illustration continues to inspire awe and wonder, reminding us of the beauty and power of nature.
