About the artwork
This monochrome cityscape was taken on 12 July 2015 in the late afternoon hours with the NIKON D90 camera (lens: SIGMA 18.0-50.0 mm f/2.8).
The reduction of the colours to classic black and white lends the architectural motif a timeless and elegant atmosphere.
Catania is a magnificent baroque city
Catania lies in a vast citrus plain on the Ionian Sea, at the foot of Mount Etna. Catania was a colony of the Calcidesi as early as 729 BC and was ruled by various tyrants and peoples, with a period of great splendour that lasted until imperial and Byzantine rule. A terrible eruption of Mount Etna in 1669 severely damaged the city, and the devastating earthquake of 1693 accelerated its progressive decline. The current urban structure dates back to the reconstruction of the city of Catania in the 18th century. Catania boasts magnificent and interesting ruins.
Catania is the second largest city in Sicily, lies at the foot of Mount Etna and offers many views of the active volcano. Catania has a strong personality given its turbulent and painful past, it is an ancient city that was almost rebuilt after the terrible earthquake of 1693.
Catania is a late Baroque city in the Val di Noto (south-east Sicily) that bears extraordinary witness to the exuberant genius of late Baroque art and architecture, the last flowering of Baroque art in Europe at its peak. Catania is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
