City Walls 2013

Giuliana Lazzerini’s 2013 linocut print, *City Walls*, uses simplified shapes and a limited color palette to depict a medieval city. The artist's use of blue, green, and white creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in this small-scale work. The scene is dominated by a tall, imposing city wall that suggests a sense of protection and history. The buildings within the wall appear to be nestled together in a compact and cozy arrangement, with a large white moon shining down from the night sky. Lazzerini’s print invites viewers to imagine themselves wandering through the streets of this quaint and charming city.
