The Tower of Magnale 1890

Giovanni Fattori's "The Tower of Magnale," painted in 1890, captures the stark beauty of a solitary tower on a desolate landscape. The painting showcases Fattori's signature style of Macchiaioli, characterized by bold brushstrokes and a focus on light and shadow. The prominent tower, rendered in earthy tones, dominates the composition against a backdrop of a muted sky and a shallow body of water. The work is a testament to Fattori's keen observation of his surroundings and his ability to translate the essence of a place onto canvas.
