About the Item
Campi Phlegraei - View of a section of a part of the cone of Astruni taken at the entrance of this volcano
Copper-line engraving with gouache. 1776.
Engraving from William Hamilton's 'Campi Phlegraei'.
The area around Naples was known locally as the Campi Phlegraei, or 'flaming fields', owing to the frequent and violent eruptions of Mount Vesuvius. From his country house at the foot of the volcano, William Hamilton (1730-1803) was ideally placed to witness and investigate the eruptions of the 1770s. Hamilton wanted to create a definitive guide to the volcano, to be as aesthetically beautiful as it was intellectually stimulating. He employed the Anglo-Neapolitan artist Peter Fabris to create sketches in situ to illustrate the work. These were then reproduced in prints that were hand coloured individually by local artists by the application of gouache. The process was overseen at every stage by Hamilton. The work was published in 1776 as 'Campi Phlegraei: observations on the volcanos of the two Sicilies'.
