( Portraying a scene that what possibly had happened on 79 AD when Mount Vesuvius first erupted after several hundred years.)
The second image is divided according to golden section (1.61803...) 
Third image is a representation of diagonal coherency, and reciprocals of diagonals which provides this image movement and aesthetic appeal.
The way humans are composed is also by golden section (in division of 1.61803.....).
The story behind creation of an art-piece is most cherished by the artist. It mirrors the hardwork put in to bring out that detailed finish.

The first picture shows the Reciprocals of Sinister and Boroque diagonals.

The second showcases the Golden Division from 54.5 cm to 0.7 cm.

The third picture futher explains how people are distributed in Golden Section.

Also, notice the use of coincedence of diagonals, verticals and horizontals for element positioning.



REMINISCENCE OF THE BOAT AND THE GLORIOUS LAMP OF HEAVEN'
(REMINESCENZA DELLA BARCA E DELLA GLORIOSA LAMPADA DEL CIALO)


This is a story framed in a painting.
I tried to capturing the exact scene of a disaster occurred almost 2000 years ago .

A volcano situated in the city of Pompeii called Mount Vesuvius erupted in August 79AD . The entire city got buried under the pyroclastic surge and gases evolved from the volcano.

The sad part of that day was, that the majority of the population didn't actually leave the city .
The people of Pompeii at that time had never heard of anything like this . They were unaware of the disaster that could be caused by a mountain .
They had never heard of a volcano.

The city was already prone of such disaster , as many earthquakes had already hit .
It was for the first time when people Pompeii experienced anything like this.

Soon, few of the population chose to leave the land and flee but the majority being oblivious of the future, decided to stay .

Shortly one day the mountain suddenly erupted and covered the city under dust, rocks and surge . It was so quick that no one could run away. It was so hot, the people got burnt and the skin and bones melted away.

Just in few hours all that left were ashes an invisible city buried under the dust of mount Vesuvius.
