Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius
The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing juxtaposition of Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius, two iconic landmarks forever intertwined in history. The ancient Roman town-city of Pompeii, nestled near modern Naples in Campania, Italy, was tragically buried under layers of ash and pumice during the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. In this horizontal composition by Frans Sellies, we are transported to a majestic landscape where remnants of old ruins stand as silent witnesses to the past. The architectural column known as Pompey's Pillar takes center stage amidst the volcanic backdrop. Its weathered beauty tells tales of an era long gone. The absence of people allows us to immerse ourselves fully in this historical moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this international landmark, we can almost feel the weight of its significance. Pigeons gracefully perched on top add a touch of life to these ancient stones. The clear sky above symbolizes hope and resilience after tragedy strikes. UNESCO has recognized both Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius as World Heritage Sites due to their immense cultural value and archaeological importance. Frans Sellies' photography skillfully captures not only the physical remains but also evokes a sense of wonder about our shared human heritage. This stunning print serves as a reminder that even amidst destruction, there is still beauty waiting to be discovered within our world's most treasured sites.
