Giovanni Giacometti1868 Stampa – 1933 Glion

The picture shows the view over the group of houses from Capolago near Maloja, where the family owned a house, over the Sils Lake to Corvatsch. Giacometti treated the same view at the same time, more interesting artistically, in the vertical format of the 'Regentag' (Chur, Bündner Kunstmuseum).In: Kunsthaus Zürich.
