Catalogue Note
We are grateful to Martin Lanyon and Toby Treves for their kind assistance with the cataloguing of the present work.
The present work is one of the first paintings that Lanyon executed whilst staying in Italy in early 1953. Marino is a town which lies twenty kilometres south-east of Rome, overlooking lake Albano, and Lanyon's pocket-diary entry for January 8th 1953 confirms that the present work was inspired by a day-visit to Marino with the artist Henry Inlander. Lanyon and Inlander went on to rent a Studio together (in Anticoli Corrado) for the next four months, from January to the end of April 1953.
