San Martín, Segovia c. 1903

"San Martín, Segovia" is a 1903 lithograph by American artist Joseph Pennell, known for his depictions of urban landscapes. This work showcases Pennell's signature style, using bold lines and tonal contrasts to capture the architectural grandeur of the Spanish city of Segovia. The print features a dynamic perspective of the San Martín church, with its towering spire dominating the composition. Pennell's meticulous attention to detail, particularly in rendering the intricate stonework and the bustling street life, reflects his keen observation and appreciation for the city's unique character. This print, now held by The Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of early 20th century printmaking and the enduring appeal of architectural subjects.
