Solitudine [Solitude] is a 1892 ink by Luigi Conconi, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet, moonlit scene with a lone tree in the center. Its bare branches stretch across the sky, while the ground below looks rough and uneven. In the distance, a faint building and a tower stand out against a dark, textured background. The artist used a rough, almost scratchy style to create this mood. The lines feel hand-drawn and uneven, giving the print a raw, unfinished look. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
