EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the excavations of a thick stratum of lava that flowed into the sea during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1631. Taken from plate 8 of Sir William Hamilton's renowned work, "Campi Phlegraei: Observations on the Volcanoes of the Two Sicilies" this image showcases the immense power and destructive force unleashed by nature. The scene depicts a group of dedicated workers laboring amidst an ancient Roman archaeological site. With their horse and cart nearby, they tirelessly dig through layers of hardened lava, revealing remnants from a time long past. The excavation site is filled with intrigue and historical significance as it witnessed several volcanic eruptions throughout its existence. Sir William Hamilton, who served as British ambassador to the Court of Naples during his lifetime, was not only an esteemed diplomat but also a passionate observer and documenter of natural phenomena. His grand tour across Italy allowed him to witness firsthand these awe-inspiring volcanic events. Painted by Pietro Fabris in watercolor on paper, this print preserves both the scientific curiosity and artistic beauty associated with such discoveries. Now part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of nature's raw power and our own insignificance in its presence.
