Den Vesuv für zu Hause – Reisebilder des 18. Jahrhunderts
As early as the 18th century, wealthy Europeans traveled to Italy to experience foreign lands, ancient sites, and spectacular natural phenomena—including Mount Vesuvius near Naples and the buried city of Pompeii. But how could they show pictures of these sights to those back home in an era without photographs or cell phone photos? Over 200 years ago, artists began capturing popular subjects; prints were particularly popular. A look into the Graphische Sammlung at ETH Zurich.
