Silvestri: view of Molfetta

Cosimo Silvestri
(Molfetta, ca. 1900 - Bari, 1973)

Molfetta: Piazza Vittorio Emanuele

Beautiful and suggestive depiction of a perspective of the square of Molfetta (Bari), with a building under construction in the foreground, a very realistic image both for the presence of the scaffolding, and for the numerous people walking with an umbrella on a rainy day; original etching, measuring approximately 40x30 cm (the figured part only, excluding the margins); a signed and dated specimen from 1955.
