Sunrise of Lords in Lierna Lake Como
The work created on the shore of Lierna on Lake Como, a place that has always been frequented by the high European nobility and by Baron Vittore Grubicy de Dragon. Among the other aspects of Grubicy's art, the practice of «continuously returning to himself, therefore also to canvases that have already been painted for years» is underlined to better render the impression he had in front of nature and «the character in itself of the natural spectacle ». The work is in fact connected to a triptych, whose first work dates back to 1887, when he was 36 years old, while this painting dates back to 1920, when the Baron was 60 years old. The work is a reworking of his whole life, and is the last work done by Baron Grubicy de Dragon before his death.
