Edition of 150. Very good condition. This evocative colour lithograph by Ugo Attardi presents a Mediterranean hill town bathed in the glowing light of sunset. The composition is dominated by a wide orange and coral sky, which floods the scene with warmth and gives the entire landscape an almost theatrical atmosphere. Below, the town’s clustered buildings—rendered in earthy tones of ochre, terracotta, and muted browns—stretch across the horizon, suggesting an ancient settlement rising from the land. In the foreground, Attardi builds a dense natural texture: a rugged hillside covered with dark vegetation, broken up by energetic strokes of electric blue, green, and violet. These vivid marks animate the surface, contrasting strongly with the heavier, shadowed ground and giving the work a lively, expressive character. Typical of Attardi’s style, the image balances solid architectural masses with a freer, more painterly treatment of nature, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere while preserving the spontaneity of the lithographic gesture.
