Camillo de Vito was a real gouache specialist and painter of the eruptions of Vesuvius and views of the Neapolitan landscape such as Notturno of the Ferdinandea island (1831) or Eruption of Vesuvius of 19 December, 1820, which derived from the illustrations of a coeval text description of the island King Ferdinand. He is still remembered by the sources as "painter of views of Naples."

19th Century Western Cowboy Campfire Texas Longhorn Grisaille Gouache Painting
Located in Denver, CO
An exceptional late 19th-century American Western gouache painting depicting a lively cowboy camp rendered entirely in grisaille, an uncommon monochromatic technique that showcases the artist's remarkable command of light, value, and atmosphere. Rich in narrative detail, the composition captures a cowboy standing over an open campfire as he prepares flapjacks in a cast-iron skillet while a curious herd of Texas Longhorn cattle gathers around in anticipation. A covered wagon rests in the background, completing this engaging and authentic vision of frontier life. Executed with impressive technical skill, the artist creates extraordinary depth and texture using only subtle variations of gray. The dramatic contrasts between light and shadow bring the figures, cattle, and landscape to life while emphasizing the rugged character of the American frontier. Equal parts humorous and historically evocative, the composition offers a rare glimpse into the quieter, everyday moments of life on the Western trail. Unlike many traditional Western paintings that focus on horseback action or dramatic landscapes, this work celebrates the camaraderie and resilience of cowboy life through an intimate storytelling approach. The whimsical interaction between the cook and the patiently waiting Longhorns gives the painting a distinctive personality that sets it apart from more conventional Western imagery. The painting is signed with initials at the lower right (appearing to read "HD" or "H"), though the artist has not been positively identified. Regardless of attribution, the work displays the confidence, craftsmanship, and narrative sophistication associated with quality late nineteenth-century American Western painting. An outstanding addition to collections of Western Americana, cowboy art, ranch history, frontier imagery, and historic American paintings...

Eruption of Vesuvium 1810 - Original Gouache by Camillo de Vito - 1810
By Camillo de Vito
Located in Roma, IT
Eruzione del 1810 is a wonderful gouache on paper, made around 1810 by the Italian painter Camillo de Vito. Title and signature in black tempera on the lower margin. This is a really beautiful gouache of the first half of the nineteenth century representing the spectacular phenomena of the eruption of Vesuvius in 1810 under a suggestive full moon obscured by an cloud of ash and lapilli, still today marvels for the brilliance of the lava colors and which seems to be really glowing . It makes that feeling palpable, which is also an Enlightenment aesthetic category, of the sublime, or of the ecstasy mixed with the fear of man in the face of natural phenomena of this magnitude. We feel like the fisherman portrayed in the foregroud and bewildered in front of this show. In Good condition, it preserves the brightness of the colors and shows a very loose hand, with some very small abrasion and widespread fungal blooms, margins with some abrasion, a light water stain at the center and a light wavy paper. Since Vesuvius awakens, starting in 1631, the volcano becomes an iconic image of the city of Naples. His eruptions attracted incredibly scholars and visitors from all over the world. First represented for devotional purposes with San Gennaro next to the crater, it later became a must for the Grand Tour, together with the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, it is painted and celebrated by a large number of renowned foreign artists. Claude-Joseph Vernet, Hubert Robert, Jean-Honoré Fragonard establish new iconographic canons for the representation of Vesuvius and its surroundings which become simplified the reference models in the following century. It was the German Jacques Philipp Hackert (1737-1807) who rediscovered the technique of the gouache at the end of the 18th century and Pietro Fabris (doc. 1754 - 1779) who used it in the representations of Vesuvius in eruption, commissioned by Sir William Hamilton (1779) , as a supplement to five works at Campi Phlegraei...
