A festményről
For centuries, artists and tourists have been attracted to Mount Vesuvius, a volcano near Naples. While living in London in 1868, Albert Bierstadt heard that the volcano was active once again, and rushed immediately to Italy. It is not certain that he actually saw an eruption, although the resultant painting presents a convincing image of spewing lava and ash.

Albert Bierstadt életében
A teljes életút1867
Shows his landscapes to Queen Victoria in London
Back in Europe, Bierstadt began in London, where he showed two of his landscapes to Queen Victoria at a private reception.
1867–1869
Two years in Europe: pictures, contacts, publicity
For two years Bierstadt travelled around Europe, painting new works and cultivating social and business contacts to sustain the market for his art on the continent. He matched grand subjects with entrepreneurial flair: his one-picture exhibitions came with promotion and ticket sales — 'a vast machinery of advertisement and puffery', in one critic's words.
1868
The Yosemite pictures bring invitations to expeditions
The publicity around his Yosemite Valley paintings led a number of explorers to ask Bierstadt to join their westward expeditions. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad commissioned him to visit and paint the Grand Canyon and the surrounding region.
