Gottardo F.P. Piazzoni (1872-1945)
The Land, 1932 (oil on canvas) |
The Land is one of two panoramic five-panel mural suites (the other is
The Sea) "created for a loggia at the top of the grand staircase in the main building of San Francisco's Public Library, The paintings, which were intergrated into the architecture of the Beaux-Arts building, were intended to suggest vistas seen through the columns of a terrace." These now reside in the Piazzoni mural room at the de Young fine art museum in San Francisco. The room is lovely and the museum hosts various events in this space.

This is like Where's Waldo? Finding that small detail in the large five-panel mural wasn't easy!
beatiful mural :)
That mural is exquisite. Can't wait to show Mr V
I like the restraint the artist used. They're inset?
I like the feel of the lone figure in a vast landscape.
