EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the interior view of Mount Vesuvius' crater, before the devastating eruption of 1767. The image, captured by Peter Fabris in the 18th century and hand-colored with meticulous detail, offers a glimpse into the awe-inspiring beauty and raw power of this iconic volcano. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to Campi Phlegraei, where William Hamilton's observations on the volcanos of the two Sicilies were communicated to the esteemed Royal Society of London. The etching vividly portrays the intricate features within Vesuvius' crater, showcasing its rugged terrain and mysterious allure. The colors chosen for this print enhance our perception of both danger and enchantment. Shades of fiery reds blend seamlessly with earthy tones, creating a stark contrast that symbolizes both destruction and rebirth. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and devastation, nature has an undeniable ability to regenerate itself. While admiring this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, it is important to note that its significance goes beyond commercial use. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only Fabris' artistic talent but also serves as a historical document capturing a moment frozen in time—a testament to human curiosity about our natural world. In conclusion, this extraordinary print invites us into Mount Vesuvius' inner sanctum before catastrophe struck—an invitation to marvel at nature's grandeur while acknowledging its unpredictable might.
