Sir William Hamilton, vulcanologist and envoy to the British Embassy in Naples, amassed an invaluable collection of ancient Greek vases, which he sold to the British Museum in 1772. He commissioned Pierre-François Hugues d’Hancarville to document the pieces before they were shipped to London: the result was a neoclassical masterpiece, reproduced here by TASCHEN in pristine detail.
