Gioacchino Toma (1836-1891) was an Italian art instructor and painter, noted primarily for historic, realistic and genre subjects in a Romantic style. Motherless and fatherless, he spent most of his childhood in a poorhouse where he learned to draw self-taught. When he was 18, he moved to Naples and apprenticed with Alessandro Fergola and Domenico Morelli (1823-1901). He worked as an ornamental painter, taught drawing in municipal school and he also became a professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Art at Naples.
This large-format painting, represents an impressive depiction of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 1880. The view is from the cobbled shore road across the harbour bay to Mount Vesuvius, which is completely obscured by smoke and ash, and whose eruption can be seen in the clouds as the fire lights up. In the foreground, a gathering of women, sitting on the ground and leaning against a pier wall with lit candles, praying in the face of misfortune. A girl in the middle of this group holds a devotional image towards the burning Vesuvius. On the left of the painting some passers-by can be seen with umbrellas to protect themselves from the ash rain, and next to them there are three young girls each holding a tray. To the left in the background, the landscape brightens up with ghostly light effects.

Publications: Bozzetti, modelletti, sketches: dalla collezione di Giorgio Baratti (From the Giorgio Baratti Collection) curated by Anna Orlando, Agnese Marengo and Annalisa Scarpa, Genova, 2022, pp. 20, 21.
The present painting is a very interesting testimony of the creative process of Matteo Bonechi, one of the leading artists on the Tuscan art scene in the early 18th century. The canvas in question is in fact the last preparatory model made by Bonechi before he executed an altarpiece for the church of San Filippo Neri in Cortona in 1716. The scene presented here is that of the Presentation of Jesus, when, forty days after his birth, the child is ransomed through an offering in the temple and placed in the hands of Simeon, who prophesies his future: the coming of the Messiah...
