The Church of Santa Maria degli Angely Near Assisi, 1909. Artist: Henri Edmond Cross
The Church of Santa Maria degli Angely Near Assisi, 1909. As a result of a journey to Italy, Cross produced a number of such scenes of Perugia and Assisi. Pointillism - the technique used to produce this work - is a method of painting in which the colour is applied in small dots of paint, the artist breaking complex tones up into pure colours which are then combined by the eye at a distance. The style is often described as Divisionism or Neo-Impressionism

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Church of Santa Maria degli Angely Near Assisi" painted by Henri Edmond Cross in 1909. Inspired by his journey to Italy, Cross created a series of scenes depicting Perugia and Assisi. Employing the technique of pointillism, he skillfully applied small dots of paint, breaking down complex tones into pure colors that harmoniously blend when viewed from a distance. This style is often referred to as Divisionism or Neo-Impressionism. The image captures the essence of rural life in early 20th century Italy. Set against the backdrop of lush green fields and rolling hills, the church stands tall with its rustic exterior exuding an aura of tranquility. The vibrant summer season adds warmth and vibrancy to this idyllic countryside scene. Incorporating elements of Christianity and religion, this artwork beautifully portrays the fusion between nature and spirituality. A female farm worker can be seen nearby, symbolizing the strong connection between agriculture and faith in rural communities. Henri Edmond Cross's masterful use of color brings life to every detail within this composition – from the rich hues adorning the landscape to the intricate architectural features that define Santa Maria degli Angely. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Cross's artistic talent while offering viewers a glimpse into a bygone era where tradition, simplicity, and devotion coexisted harmoniously amidst nature's beauty.
