Description

The watercolor enhances the visual impact of the Sacra di San Michele, today a symbolic monument of Piedmont but already considered an emblematic testimony of the Savoy Middle Ages between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In the misty atmosphere, vegetation, rock and man-made stone merge, creating a solemn encounter between the sublime visions of the Alpine landscape and the picturesque testimonies of medieval architecture, two themes dear to the figurative culture of the early nineteenth century. The Turin-born Giuseppe Pietro Bagetti (1764-1831) was a great watercolorist specializing in particular in military topography and landscape. His technical expertise, already appreciated by Napoleon Bonaparte, was at the service of Vittorio Emanuele I and then of his brother Carlo Felice, for whom he carried out a series of battles and a series of landscapes respectively.
