Description
A knockout image of one of the most celebrated tourist destinations of the last century. It epitomized everything romantic and picturesque. Elio Ximenes (1855-1926) returned to this subject again and again. Artist and place were a winning combination.
Author — Elio Ximenes.
Ximenes designed a number of travel posters, primarily featuring the Italian Lakes (Como, Garda and Maggiore), but also some depicting scenes from Monaco and Monte Carlo. His posters are notable for his treatment of light and colors and their overall painterly qualities. Italia 61, Bolaffi p. 231, not in Travel Italia.
