1751 Carlo Digging Excavation Excavations I Ii Mosaic Paintings Pillars Plans Pompeii Visits Borbone


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the first excavations at Pompeii in 1751, with Carlo III di Borbone himself visiting the site. The image is filled with a sense of discovery and wonder as archaeologists carefully unearth ancient artifacts and uncover the secrets of this long-lost city. The mosaic floors, intricate paintings, and towering pillars all hint at the grandeur that once was Pompeii before it was buried under layers of ash and pumice during the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Carlo III di Borbone's presence adds a touch of regal elegance to the scene, emphasizing the importance of these excavations not only for scientific purposes but also for historical preservation. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the meticulous digging and planning that went into uncovering Pompeii's hidden treasures. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations and our relentless quest to unravel their mysteries. Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly captured this momentous occasion through their lens, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and significance of Pompeii's excavation. This print is not just a visual masterpiece but also a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in unlocking the past.
