This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Eruption of Vesuvius designed from a painting by Johan Christian Dahl shows the volcano Mt. Vesuvius in full eruption with billows of smoke, fire and lava flowing which is a sharp contrast of the calm waters of the Bay of Naples in the distance. This scene demonstrates the sheer power of nature and how we can, despite its destruction, admire its beauty. Two figures can be seen who have ventured close to the volcano which is quite risky. When you look at how small the figures are next to the eruption, this gives you some sort of idea of the size of the eruption. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we only use an abundance of solid colors to produce a more realistic effect.
