'Lago di Garda nella ghirlanda delle città Trento–Brescia–Mantova–Verona'
Berann compresses the entire setting of Lake Garda into a remarkably clear pocket panorama, looking north from the Lombard–Venetian plain towards Riva, Trento and the snow-covered Brenta and Adamello ranges. Brescia, Mantua and Verona form the ‘garland of cities’ named in the title, while roads, railways and the closely spaced lakeside resorts make the view useful as well as atmospheric. The elevated perspective is especially effective here: it explains at a glance how the long lake narrows into the Alps. Printed for the Hotel Astoria at Gardone Riviera, this is an appealing hotel-specific, reduced size version of Berann’s Garda imagery, combining the intimacy of a travel keepsake with the accomplished landscape modelling for which his larger panoramas are celebrated.
