Description

This exceptional original etching, titled "Two Silos" (1942), is the work of celebrated Italian-American artist Luigi Lucioni, often referred to as the "painter laureate of Vermont." A master of American Regionalism, Lucioni is renowned for his crisp, photographic realism and his ability to capture the quiet, rugged dignity of the New England landscape.

The composition features two weathered, wooden stave silos standing in the foreground, rendered with microscopic detail. Every vertical board and rusted binding hoop is meticulously etched, set against a backdrop of a classic gable-roofed barn and a dramatic, shadow-dappled mountain range. A distant church steeple is visible to the left, adding a sense of scale and serenity to this quintessential Vermont scene.

This piece is hand-signed in pencil by the artist in the lower right margin, confirming its authenticity as an original lifetime impression.
