Basilicata 1978

Franco Fontana's 1978 photograph "Basilicata" exemplifies his signature style of color photography. The image, taken in the Italian region of Basilicata, captures a simple yet striking landscape of rolling green hills. The vibrant green of the fields is contrasted by the soft blue of the sky and fluffy clouds, forming a harmonious and minimalist composition. Fontana's use of color and composition creates a sense of tranquility and invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty of the natural world. His "Landscapes" series, which includes "Basilicata," showcases his mastery of color and his ability to capture the essence of place.
