Santa Maria della Fava 1925

"Santa Maria della Fava" is a 1925 etching by British artist James McBey, known for his atmospheric landscapes and cityscapes. The work depicts a shadowy, seemingly empty space in front of a church, with a group of figures barely visible at the bottom. The muted tones and soft lines create a sense of mystery, characteristic of McBey's style, which often reflected the stark beauty of urban scenes. The print's subtle details and evocative atmosphere leave much to the viewer's imagination, inviting contemplation on the passing of time and the enduring power of architectural structures.
