Oil on canvas depicting the Tre Cime di Lavaredo as seen from Lake Antorno. In the foreground stretches the reflective surface of the water, mirroring the tree line and the mountain profiles in the background, creating a balanced interplay of full and empty spaces.
The composition is built on overlapping planes, with an atmospheric effect achieved through dense, textured brushwork. This is particularly evident in the rendering of rocks and vegetation, where the artist alternates between brush and palette‑knife technique. The chromatic range, dominated by deep greens and earthy tones, is enriched by light transitions that add depth and a sense of calm to the landscape.
The overall effect conveys an intense vision of the Alpine environment, characteristic of mid‑20th‑century landscape painting.
Available with an 8‑cm (3.15‑in) antique spruce frame. See less
