Pompeii - Vesuvius' victims - a photo on Flickriver

            Plaster casts of victims of the eruption of mt. vesuvius in A.D. 79.
Giuseppe Fiorelli took charge of the excavations in Pompeji in 1860 and it was him who realised that the occasional found cavities in the ash layers were spaces left by the decomposed bodies and so devised the technique of injecting plaster into them to perfectly recreate the forms of Vesuvius's victims. What resulted were highly accurate and eerie forms of the doomed Pompeiani who failed to escape, in their last moment of life, with the expression of terror often quite clearly visible
