Product Description

A fascinating introduction to the work of Gabriele Basilico (b. 1944), one of the most important European landscape photographers of our time. His work captures the city in its quiet, empty moments, almost as if some disaster had driven away the population – the buildings remain, lasting testaments to the society that created them. Basilico has extensively chronicled the lesser-known parts of his own native country as well as traveling widely throughout Northern Europe, bringing his Italian sensibility and melding it with the peculiarities of the Northern landscape.
