About The Artwork
Subject: Fortress Cerro Santa Lucia, Santiago, Chile Description: The painting captures the fortification at the pinnacle of Cerro Santa Lucia constructed shortly after Chile fought for and won its independence from Spain. Designed by Manuel Olaguer Feliú, the Brigadier of the Royal Engineers, in 1816, the fort is constructed from lime and stone quarried from the hill itself, and in its partially-ruined state, appears to spring from the very rock of which it was constructed. The painting depicts the watch-tower, turning the viewer's gaze from the outside world to the structure itself. The lookout here serves as a visual metaphor for humanity's ambitions and its reshaping of the natural world. The painting prompts us to question our relationship with the landscape and to consider our intentions and legacy as we continue to shape it for our own purposes. Process: Plein-air drawing, painted in studio.
