El Faro 1928

"El Faro" (1928) by Italian artist Carlo Carra depicts a solitary lighthouse standing on a rocky beach, its white form stark against the muted blues and greens of the sky and sea. The scene is framed by a ruined structure on the left, adding a sense of historical weight and melancholic beauty. This work reflects Carra's transition from his earlier Futuristic style to a more contemplative, introspective approach, capturing a quiet and almost dreamlike atmosphere.
