The Theatre, Segesta 1913

"The Theatre, Segesta," a 1913 lithograph by Joseph Pennell, depicts the ancient Greek theatre at Segesta, Sicily. The drawing captures the majestic setting of the theatre, nestled within a valley surrounded by towering mountains. Pennell's expressive lines convey the scale and grandeur of the ruins, while the delicate shading creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. This work exemplifies Pennell's signature style, known for its bold lines, expressive textures, and keen eye for architectural detail.
