Engraved by German artist Johann Carl Richter (1759-c.1832) after a painting by French artist Pierre-Jacques Volaire (1729-1799). Comes from a series of etchings with aquatint of various scenes of Mount Vesuvius and other European landscapes, (1797). Printed in one color: brown.

The National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. and the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, PA together have five examples from this series within their permanent collections. Mount Vesuvius is a somma-stratovolcano located on the Gulf of Naples in Campania, Italy, about 9 km east of Naples and a short distance from the shore. It is one of several volcanoes forming the Campanian volcanic arc. Biography: Pierre-Jacques Volaire (1729-1799) was a French painter. He was born in Toulon as the son of the official city painter and writer and became the pupil of Claude Joseph Vernet. He was his assistant for eight years and known for landscapes and marines. He created paintings for English travelers on the Grand Tour. Volaire painted more than 30 scenes of Mt. Vesuvius, a popular natural attraction on the continent because it erupted periodically. He died in Naples. Johann Carl Richter (1759-c.1832) was a German engraver born in Annaberg and died in Wroclaw. He is known for his portrait engravings, often featuring prominent figures of the time. Richter's work is characterized by its detailed rendering of features and meticulous attention to texture. His engravings were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries and are still admired for their technical skill and historical significance.
