The Eruption of Vesuvius
The Eruption of Vesuvius (1821) by Johan Christian Dahl
The Eruption of Vesuvius is the name of several paintings by the Norwegian artist Johan Christian Dahl, executed from 1820 to 1826. He travelled to Italy in 1820, spending a short time in Rome before moving on to Naples, arriving in time for the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in December that year. He was one of the first to climb the mountain. There are at least seven versions of the painting, three are exhibited in the Danish National Gallery[1] in Copenhagen, in the [2] in Bergen, and the final one in Städel Museum[3] in Frankfurt.
