An original and spectacular view of an 18th-century eruption of Vesuvius by Jakob Philipp Hackert. In the foreground is the great volcano at night, in full eruption. Jets of lava burst out and light up the scene, while the smoke and the sky are tinged with shades of red. In the foreground, near the right-hand side, a rowing boat can be glimpsed carrying people who are watching nature's marvellous and unsettling spectacle.
The painting is on display at the Capodimonte Museum, Naples.
