Description
Madonna del Sasso between Lake and Mountains is an original work in watercolor on rough paper (2026, Minusio, Switzerland). Maximum outer dimensions, including mat and black frame, are 30 × 40 cm.
The painting depicts the Church of Madonna del Sasso, one of Locarno’s most evocative sites, represented from the elevated perspective of the hillside. The sanctuary emerges at the center of the composition with its bell tower, articulated façades, arcades, and overlapping roofs, while behind it the landscape of Lake Maggiore opens out.
The mountains in the background, painted in blue tones and light gray nuances, create depth and a sense of clear atmosphere. The greens of the vegetation and the warm tones of the roofs accompany the architecture and render it luminous, maintaining the calm and contemplative character of the scene.
The watercolor interprets Madonna del Sasso as a place suspended between nature, spirituality, and landscape. The church seems to dominate the town and the lake with discretion, protected by the presence of the mountains and enveloped in the light of the sky.
The rough paper enhances the transparencies of the watercolor and renders visible the delicate variations of color, from the cool tones of the sky and mountains to the greens of the vegetation and the browns of the roofs. The white mat creates a breathing space around the work, while the black frame defines its contours with elegance.
A work suited to those who love Locarno, Lake Maggiore, the landscapes of Ticino, and luminous representations of places charged with history and spirituality. Sold with mat and black frame, ready to be displayed.
