About this work
This painting shows an eruption of Vesuvius, with a dense column of grey and white smoke rising over glowing red lava that spills down the volcano's slope. In the foreground, small figures and a pair of cattle stand on dark, rocky ground, while a curved bay with boats and a coastal town lies in the distance under a pale evening sky. The work is credited to Johan Christian Dahl and is catalogued in the Wikimedia Commons collection.
