Madonna del Sasso above Locarno is an original work created entirely in charcoal on paper (2026, Minusio, Switzerland). Maximum external dimensions, including mount and black frame, are 52 \u00d7 72 cm. <\/p>\n
The drawing depicts the Church of the Madonna del Sasso, one of Locarno’s most evocative and recognizable landmarks, shown soaring above the hill and dominating the surrounding landscape. The religious complex emerges centrally, perched on the slope and surrounded by vegetation, a meeting point between human presence, nature, and the sky. <\/p>\n
The church, with its slender bell tower, articulated facades, arches, and overlapping roofs, is described with great attention to architectural detail. In the foreground, dark trees and the profile of the hill frame the sanctuary, accentuating its elevated position. Beyond the building, Lake Maggiore opens up, while the mountains of the Locarno region rise in the background in a succession of profiles, slopes, and chiaroscuro. <\/p>\n
The flight of birds above the bell tower adds a sense of lightness and spirituality to the composition. Wide, soft clouds, the quiet lake, and the silent presence of the church create a suspended atmosphere, almost out of time. The charcoal enhances the monochromatic dimension of the landscape and intensifies its mystical nature: the Madonna del Sasso appears as a place of recollection, protection, and contemplation, suspended between the city, the lake, and the mountains. <\/p>\n
The work is presented with a mount and black frame, which enhance the drawing’s contrasts and give the composition an elegant, intimate appearance. It is ready to be displayed in a living room, study, entrance, or space dedicated to meditation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
