Acantilados, Ischia
1926
Imagine standing on the edge of a dizzying cliff, looking down at the deep, swirling blues of the Mediterranean. Giuseppe Casciaro captures this breathtaking view of the Italian island of Ischia in 1926, showing tiny houses clinging precariously to the rugged, rocky slopes. The water is a stunning mix of turquoise and deep navy, crashing against the shore, while the cliffs themselves are a textured mix of earth tones and greens. Though categorized as realism, the loose, energetic brushstrokes give the scene a dreamy, almost impressionistic feel, making you feel the sea breeze just by looking at it.
