Ferdinand IV Visit To The Eruption Of Vesuvius
Artist: Pietro Fabris
Pietro Fabris ( Napoli 1740 - 1792), Visit of Ferdinand IV to the eruption of Vesuvius.
Based on historical documents (notably the registers of the Royal Palace of Caserta and the Valerio collection in Geneva), the painting depicts a particularly well-documented historical event: the eruption of Vesuvius on May 11, 1771. The young King Ferdinand IV of Bourbon (January 12, 1751 Naples - January 4, 1825 Naples) - who came to the throne in 1759 and was proclaimed of age in 1767 - was already reigning over Naples. The work is thus precisely set in the second half of the 18th century, probably between the years 1770 and 1780.
