The workby Mario Giacomelli is a powerful illustration of his skill at using light and shadow to convey the spirit of a location. The picture shows a wide stretch of plowed fields dominating a rural area. A focal point and a feeling of scale are provided by the lone tree in the distance, while the deep furrows evoke movement and energy. A dramatic impact is produced by the stark contrast between the image's dark and light regions, highlighting the landscape's untamed beauty. Giacomelli gives the viewer a sense of being fully involved in the landscape by using a wide-angle lens to capture a panoramic image of the scene.
