On associe exclusivement le nom de Volaire, du chevalier Volaire comme on l'appelait de son temps, aux représentations des éruptions du Vésuve, de nuit de préférence, ce qui permettait de beaux effets d'éclairage pittoresques. C'est, comme le prouve la monographie d'Émilie Beck, ne pas rendre justice à un artiste dont l'œuvre est bien plus varié qu'on ne le croit communément. Fruit de patientes recherches entreprises depuis plusieurs années, cette monographie nous restitue la vie et la carrière d'un artiste qui, de Toulon à Naples en passant par Rome, se consacra essentiellement au paysage. Grâce aux nombreux documents retrouvés par l'auteur, aux œuvres de Volaire dispersées dans les collections du monde entier et enfin réunies, on peut rendre sa place à un artiste qui, entre Vernet et Wright of Derby, eut une importance non négligeable dans l'histoire de la peinture européenne de la seconde moitié du dix-huitième siècle. Il nome di Volaire, del cavalier Volaire come veniva chiamato dai contemporanei, è associato esclusivamente alle rappresentazioni delle eruzioni del Vesuvio, notturne preferibilmente, che gli consentivano di create effetti di luce molto pittoreschi. Ciò non rende giustizia, come dimostra questa monografia di Emilie Beck, a un artisla la cui opera è molto più varia di quanto non si creda comunemente. . Frutto di pazienti ricerche condotte nel corso di parecchi anni, questo libro descrive la vita e la carriera di un artista che, da Tolone a Napoli passando da Roma, si è dedicato essenzialmente al paesaggio. Grazie ai numerosi documenti trovati dall'autrice, alle opere di Volaire sparse nelle collezioni del mondo intero e finalmente riunite, possiamo ricollocare questo artista che, tra Vernet e Wright of Derby, ebbe un'importanza non trascurabile nella storia della pittura europea della seconda metà del Settecento.

These archaeological studies offer to provide an alternative tour through Vesuvian cities. One way to see Pompeii, for example, is via its hydraulic systems, from the higher parts to waterlogged landfills at the mouth of Sarno. They invite you to walk the streets amidst the traces of regulation issued in municipal law and the free initiative of those who built and maintained the sidewalks. The graffiti and paintings allow us to take a tour specially designed to understand the tastes and devotions of the inhabitants of the Vesuvian cities. Thus, disparate themes researched separately may be presented here as a coherent work that initiates the visitor into Vesuvian studies. Each author gives us a particular tour of the specifics of the cities and villages of the Vesuvian area, its story, furniture, findings and the research process that has been developed over many years.
