Drawing Of A Landscape In Lazio

A delicate original drawing depicting a landscape of the Lazio countryside. With great poetic sensitivity, the artist captures the depth and light of the Roman hills through a skillful use of wash and soft brushstrokes. On the right, the silhouette of a tree with a misty canopy balances the composition with great elegance. The period-era art paper lends the work an authentic and refined charm.

Born in Buenos Aires in 1922, the Argentine painter and draftsman Martín G. de Álzaga distinguished himself from a very young age for his precocious talent. At the age of just 11, he exhibited his first works at the Van Riel Gallery, and went on to win the Laura Barbará de Díaz Prize at the Salón Nacional in 1940.

In 1961, he settled in Paris and spent much of his career in Europe. He exhibited in major galleries, including the famous Galleria dell’Obelisco in Rome and various institutions in France.
