Blick vom Castelletto auf Genua 1931

"Blick vom Castelletto auf Genua" (View from Castelletto of Genoa) is a 1931 ink drawing by German artist Hermann Lismann. The work depicts a view of the Italian city of Genoa from a hilltop. The drawing uses a range of grey tones to illustrate the cityscape and harbor, emphasizing the building's facades, a winding street, and the distant harbor with boats. The artist's use of subtle lines and washes create a sense of depth and perspective. The drawing, which is now housed in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany, is a fine example of Lismann's masterful ability to capture the essence of place in a single, evocative image.
