About this work

A large smoke column rises from an erupting volcano, with glowing red lava flowing down its dark slopes toward the foreground. In the right distance a curved bay with a town and small ships lies beneath a bright, hazy sky, while small figures and pack animals stand on the rocky ground at lower right. The work is catalogued as a print titled An Eruption of Vesuvius, a copy after J. C. Dahl, by Johan Christian Dahl.
