Early XIX century Naples Italy 

A large gouache definitely by the famous artist Camillo de Vito (1794-1845) depicting the eruption of the Vesuvius by daylight on the 22 of oktober 1822.

A piece of the cuttings with the handwriting of De Vito was kept apart on the back of the cardboard describing the date of the eruption. Also included. 

The gouache is large and in good condition. One tiny bit of superficial damage to the gouache (hardly noticeable) but overall very fresh and incredibly detailed.

Old silver pendant necklace, used as a lingam casket box. These pendants were designed as containers to hold a sacred lingam stone representing the god Shiva.

Charles Guillaume Brun, né à Montpellier en 1825, mort à Paris en 1908, s’inscrit en 1847 à l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris, où il étudie sous la direction de François-Edouard Picot (1786-1868) puis d’Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889). Sa participation au Salon débute en 1851 avec des sujets de genre (Jeune fille faisant sa prière du matin), mais dès 1853, il envoie régulièrement des scènes Orientalistes, situées en Algérie (La Prièreen 1859, Rendez-vous à Constantine en 1861, Femme Mauresque en 1867), d’une grande rigueur architecturale, animées de contrastes tranchants dans les effets d’éclairage et montrant dans les modulations de gris une fine sensibilité. Outre ses nombreux paysages d’Algérie, il se fait aussi connaître comme portraitiste militaire, peignant avec précision les uniformes, et devient naturellement peintre officiel au ministère de la Guerre, où il collabore avec Alexandre Cabanel. Il est également l’auteur de décorations d’églises, dont celle de Villemomble (Martyre de saint Laurent, 1857). Brun devient sociétaire des Artistes Français à partir de 1883.
