Landscape with a Large Rock c. 1621 - 1629

Teodoro Filippo di Liagno’s “Landscape with a Large Rock”, a pen and brown wash drawing created between 1621 and 1629, depicts a dramatic rocky landscape. The artist was known for his landscapes and this work is a testament to his keen observation of nature. The drawing features a large rock formation with a small building perched precariously on top. The composition of the drawing is balanced and serene, with a sense of depth and perspective created through the use of hatching and shading. The drawing’s detail and realism highlight Liagno’s skill.
