Porto Maggiore, Orvieto 1925

"Porto Maggiore, Orvieto" is a 1925 etching by British artist Henry Rushbury (1889-1968). The print depicts a picturesque view of the Italian town of Orvieto, perched atop a steep cliff. The composition is dominated by the imposing rock face and the town's buildings, while a small group of figures and animals in the foreground add a sense of scale. Rushbury’s use of light and shadow gives the image a sense of depth and atmosphere. This work exemplifies the artist’s mastery of etching and his passion for capturing the beauty of the Italian landscape.
