Can you guess the location and artist? No prizes, just for fun. And no Google Image search cheating!
Update - a reader writes:
I'm sure others will get this, but I felt compelled to reply because it is a picture I always quite liked back home at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool - it's Joseph Wright of Derby's fantasy picture of fireworks over Rome. I have checked, and this detail appears to foil the Google search, which is good!
Quite right. Full picture here. Well done to those who got it.
