::Dragons at Vesuvius from Portici after J.W. of Derby:: . What is better than a painting with a dragon? A painting featuring 16 dragons I’d say ;) .

The events are told by Arrowood’s companion and occasional strongman, Norman Barnett, and once more we delve into the grimy and violent London south of the river.
