Andy WARHOL - Vesuvius (FS II.365)

Vesuvius 365 is a screenprint by Andy Warhol that was created in 1985. It details the volcanic mountain, Vesuvius, located in the Gulf of Naples, Italy. While its last eruption was in 1944, its most infamous and destructive eruption happened in 79 AD, which covered its neighboring cities, Pompeii and Herculaneum in volcanic rock. It is the only European volcano to have erupted within the last one hundred years and is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world.
