Il calar della notte (Nightfall)

Luigi Conconi

National Gallery of Art

The image is viewed from a slightly elevated angle. The horizon is not prominently defined, and a large, rocky or mountainous form dominates the right half of the composition. The lines show a meticulous, textured technique creating an intricate surface. The color palette consists of various shades of gray and black. Delicate leafy branches frame the scene from the top left and right corners, adding an organic element to the structured, rocky form in the distance.
