The Legacy of Vesuvius: Bourbon Discoveries on the Bay of Naples
This event is currently underway
This exhibition looks at the groundbreaking archaeological excavations sponsored by the Bourbon King Charles VII of Naples (r. 1734–1759)—the future king of Spain. Comprised of nearly 50 objects, the exhibition’s unique combination of Roman archaeological material from the excavations at Pompeii, Herculaneum, and other sites, mingled with 18th-century paintings, porcelain, and prints—including major loans from Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte, Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Wellcome Collection—will provide an exciting introduction to the archaeological treasures of ancient Rome and their formative influence on 18th-century artistic production.
