Description
Español: Karl Briulov visitó Pompeya en 1828, y en esa oportunidad realizó bocetos representando la erupción del Monte Vesubio del año 79 d.C. ; la pintura hecha por el artista en base a estos bocetos, recibió muchos elogios en la exposición realizada en Roma, aportando a Briullov más aclamación y reconocimiento que el que pudiera haber recibido por cualquier otra obra suya. Esa fue la primera obra de arte rusa que causó tanto interés en el extranjero, inspirando un poema antológico de Alexander Pushkin, así como la novela "Los últimos días de Pompeya" de Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Así se ha desarrollado un tema clásico, aunque incluyendo características del romanticismo tal como se lo ha manifestado en el arte ruso, al abarcar el drama, el realismo templado (mezclado) con el idealismo, el interés por la naturaleza, y la afición por los temas históricos. Un autorretrato se presenta en la esquina superior izquierda de esta pintura, bajo el campanario, aunque no es fácil de ubicar e identificar.
Bahasa Indonesia: Karl Bryullov mengunjungi Pompeii pada tahun 1828, dan pada kesempatan itu membuat sketsa yang menggambarkan letusan Gunung Vesuvius pada tahun 79 Masehi. Lukisan ini mendapat banyak pujian di pameran yang diadakan di Roma yang membuat Bryullov mendapat lebih banyak pujian dan pengakuan dari yang bisa diterima untuk karya-karyanya yang lain. "Hari Terakhir Pompeii" adalah karya seni Rusia pertama yang menarik begitu banyak minat di luar negeri, bahkan menginspirasikan sebuah puisi antologis karya Alexander Pushkin, serta novel "The Last Days of Pompeii" karya Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Dengan demikian, dikembangkanlah tema klasik, meskipun memiliki ciri-ciri romantisme seperti yang diwujudkan dalam seni rupa Rusia, meliputi drama, realisme tempered (bercampur) dengan idealisme, ketertarikan pada alam, dan kecintaan terhadap tema sejarah. Potret diri tersaji di pojok kiri atas lukisan ini, di bawah menara lonceng, meski tidak mudah untuk ditemukan dan diidentifikasi.
English: Briullov visited Pompeii in 1828 and made sketches depicting the AD 79 Vesuvius eruption. The painting received rapturous reviews at its exhibition in Rome and brought Briullov more acclaim than any other work during his lifetime. The first Russian artwork to cause such an interest abroad, it inspired an anthologic poem by Alexander Pushkin, and the novel The Last Days of Pompeii by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. It depicts a classical topic but exhibits characteristics of Romanticism as manifested in Russian art, including drama, realism tempered with idealism, interest in nature, and a fondness for historical subjects. A self portrait is in the upper left corner of the painting, under the steeple, but not easy to identify.
Deutsch: Das Ölgemälde Der letzte Tag von Pompeji ist ein großformatiges Historiengemälde des russischen Malers Karl Pawlowitsch Brjullow aus den Jahren 1830 bis 1833. Das Bild zeigt den Ausbruch des Vesuvs am 24. August des Jahres 79 n. Chr.. Sicher belegt ist ein Besuch des Malers in Pompeji im Jahr 1827. Dabei war er so beeindruckt von der Via dei Sepolcri, dass er sich entschloss, die Geschehnisse in einem Gemälde festzuhalten. Briefe legen nahe, dass Brjullow den Augenzeugenbericht von Plinius dem Jüngeren gelesen hatte und ihn als Vorbild für das Gemälde nutzte.
