Subject: Castello Ursino, Catania, Italy Description: This painting depicts Catello Ursino in Catania, Sicily. Constructed for Norman Emperor Frederick II as a sea-cliff fortress in the 13th century the castle was deemed impenetrable until it was consumed by a lava flow from Mount Etna. It now stands a kilometer inland at the center of a plaza surrounded by houses, shops and restaurants. I was struck by the contrast between its physical permanence and it’s fleeting utility in the face of nature’s power. This is just one example of how changes to our landscape and environment alter our relationship to the built world, something that will become a more common occurrence in the coming years. Process: Plein-air drawing, painted in studio.
