G. DURA (1805-1878), Ascent to Vesuvius, around 1857, Lithography Gaetano Dura (1805 Cassano Jonio (Cosenza) - 1878 Naples): Ascent to Vesuvius, c. 1857, Lithography Technique: Hand colored Lithography on Paper Inscription: Middle right signed in the printing plate: "Gae Dura". At the lower part inscribed in the printing plate: "Lit. Gatti e Dura / Salita al Vesuvio". Unknown collection stamp on verso Date: c. 1857 Description: After Gaetano Dura and the lithographer Federico Gatti published the album Tarantella. Ballo napoletano, in which the exact sequence of the famous dance is depicted, the collaboration between the two intensified in 1835 with the founding of a joint lithography studio, which was soon to become one of the most important graphic institutions in Naples. Dura had made a name for himself particularly with portrait and landscape lithographs, but was also not averse to humour, as the theatre texts and comedies he wrote prove. Our caricature shows that he also knew how to give form to pictorial humour. At the same time, the sheet is a fine cultural-historical document, as it clearly shows how much Vesuvius had become an everyday tourist destination. Little has remained of the majestic grandeur of the 'mountain of fire'. The ascent has become a business. The ascent is still arduous, but the 'weight' of the effort has shifted. Keywords: Italy, satire, caricature, mountaineering, mountains, fashion, costume, Italian, volcano, Naples, 19th century, Romanticism, Caricature, Italy, Size: Paper: 18,2 cm x 23,1 cm (7,2 x 9,1 in), additional specification: 18.2 x 23.1 cm
