Abstract visualisation: the dark tunnel into Herculaneum 7
Herculaneum, Italy - 22 October 2014
Located in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum was an ancient Roman town destroyed by a major volcanic eruption in 79 AD. In fact, it was completely buried. This image started off showing the dark and scary tunnel that leads to the now uncovered remains. But then I got adventurous and turned it into something more colorful and abstract, using a combination of Photoshop techniques including multi-layer blending, transformations and gradient mapping. I hope you like it

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Abstract visualisation: the dark tunnel into Herculaneum 7" transports us to the ancient Roman town of Herculaneum, located in the ominous shadow of Mount Vesuvius. The image captures a once terrifying and foreboding tunnel that leads to the uncovered remains of this buried civilization. However, the artist's creative vision took a bold turn as they transformed this dark and eerie scene into something vibrant and abstract. Through skillful manipulation using various Photoshop techniques such as multi-layer blending, transformations, and gradient mapping, an explosion of colors emerges from what was once darkness. The result is a mesmerizing composition that draws our attention with its layered effects and radial symmetry. As we gaze at this artwork, we are pulled towards a vanishing point where converging steps invite us on a journey deeper into history. Jon Bower's innovative approach breathes new life into the forgotten ruins of Herculaneum while paying homage to its rich archaeological significance. This image serves as both an artistic expression and a reminder of the destructive power unleashed by Vesuvius centuries ago. Whether you appreciate it for its historical context or simply admire its aesthetic beauty, this print invites you to explore an ancient world through Jon Bower's imaginative lens.
