Painting Description
"Campi Phlegraei" is a seminal work by Sir William Hamilton, a British diplomat, antiquarian, and volcanologist, published in the late 18th century. The full title, "Frontespizio Dell'Opera 'Campi Phlegraei' Composto Da Sei Piccole Vedute Di Eruzioni," translates to "Title Page of the Work 'Campi Phlegraei' Composed of Six Small Views of Eruptions." This publication is renowned for its detailed and vivid illustrations of volcanic activity, specifically focusing on the Phlegraean Fields, a volcanic area located near Naples, Italy.
Hamilton's fascination with volcanology was piqued during his tenure as the British envoy to the Kingdom of Naples from 1764 to 1800. His proximity to the active volcanoes of Vesuvius and the Phlegraean Fields provided him with a unique opportunity to study and document volcanic phenomena firsthand. "Campi Phlegraei" is a testament to his meticulous observations and his desire to share the awe-inspiring power of nature with the scientific community and the general public.
The work is particularly noted for its collaboration with the artist Pietro Fabris, who created the hand-colored illustrations that accompany Hamilton's descriptive text. These illustrations are celebrated for their accuracy and artistic quality, capturing the dramatic eruptions and the surrounding landscapes with remarkable detail. The publication includes not only visual depictions but also scientific explanations and personal accounts of the eruptions, making it a comprehensive resource on the subject.
"Campi Phlegraei" was groundbreaking in its interdisciplinary approach, combining art, science, and personal narrative. It contributed significantly to the field of volcanology and influenced subsequent studies of volcanic activity. The work remains a valuable historical document, offering insights into 18th-century scientific exploration and the early study of volcanology.
