Landschap met muur en bomen langs een straat 1900 - 1947

Francesco Chiappelli created this small print, "Landschap met muur en bomen langs een straat," using etching techniques. Chiappelli, born in Italy, lived through both World Wars. This piece perhaps reflects a longing for the simple, enduring aspects of life amidst the turmoil of the 20th century. The landscape, with its sturdy wall and steadfast trees, offers a sense of permanence, yet the sketch-like quality of the etching suggests a fragility. There's a quiet beauty here, a subtle resistance to the grand narratives of conflict that dominated Chiappelli's era. The intimate scale of the print invites a close, personal viewing experience. It invites us to consider the artist's perspective, his search for stability and peace in a world constantly disrupted by violence and change.
