Title: Castle of Massa

Artist: Leo von Klenze

Title: Landscape with the Castle of Massa di Carrara Date: 1827 Artist: Leo von Klenze (German, Schladen 1784–1864 Munich) Medium: Oil on canvas Description Klenze, primarily known for his accomplishments as the chief architect and head of public works in Munich from 1816 to 1864, was also a talented painter. In his Munich studio he re-created this view of Massa, a town near Genoa, working from the many sketches he had made in Italy seven years earlier. The integration of landscape and man-made elements reveals an architect's sensitivity to issues of spatial construction.
