Context: Quelle di Metelli sono la perfetta raffigurazione del concetto di patria, di luogo nativo e di vita, un contesto osservato a lungo e ripercorso nella pittura con cura minuziosa, come attestano le tante descrizioni del centro storico, dal tracciato irregolare, punteggiato da emergenze monumentali, le chiese, i conventi, i campanili, e della città nuova, sorta intorno alla fabbrica

retraced in his painting(s)
Personally I like the use of the work retraced here as it gives the idea of actually walking thorugh his paintings, which have such detailed images of the places the painter is portraying.

reconstructed in the painting

Something went wrong...
