The painting I'm going to present is the 
eruption of the Vesuve 
by Alex Dupont, paint between 1817 and 1820.
This painting is, like his names present, a representation of the catastrophe of Paris, who destroy the famous city and other one, like Herculaneum. This is one of my favorite painting of this artist, that I studied during my last year before going to university. I studied a lot of representation of the catastrophe and this is the one I prefer because i
t doesnt show in presicion the people who are going to die, it show the beauty of the explosion, the beauty behind the terror, behind the tragedy. A lot of other representation show the people, the monument, and Alex Dupont contrary to the other chose to show the eruption but at point of view of someone who is not in the city but miles away. We can also see the style of the artist very cleary, little detail that can identify the artist, the littles details like the white lines and the confusion in the colors. We can also see a little group of people who tried to escape by the ocean, but we can't see the city, we only see the eruption who take a big place in the painting, who occupte senventy pourcent of the place. We can only see the huge cloud of the eruption, who is going to take more and more place, like everything and everybody is going to die because of him.
