•  Info created by Mount Vesuvius eruption - photographed, uploaded and nominated by me -- Jebulon (talk) 17:55, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
•  Support This cast is famous enough to deserve its own category here in "Commons", but I find it very impressive. As you may now, this is not a statue, neither a sculpture, but a "people". The man was suffocated by the toxic gases producted by the '79 eruptions of Mount Vesuvius, he tried to protect himself with his clothing, but finally died. Slowly, his body was covered by ashes and lava, and disappeared for centuries. But the "print" remained, and during excavations, somebody had the idea to inject plaster in curious holes which looked like "molds". And strange figures of humans and animals appeared. This one is here now, among us, for ever, as a silent whitness of a disaster. I would like to ask him about his story... I think the level of details is exceptional, and the subject just extraordinary. Would you apreciate enough this picture to promote it ? Let me hope you will be convinced...-- Jebulon (talk) 17:55, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

  • ??"brighter?"--Jebulon (talk) 20:14, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
    • Yeah, I don't know, the front leg feels strangely bright to me. You're right, it isn't actually, it's just out of focus. Ignore what I wrote. :) — Julian H.^✈ 07:56, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
