Scape
The Manuscript sketchbook series, named «Scape» (a wordplay between Scape – escape and Cityscape – urban landscape), has gathered three paintings by the greatest artists to show what simple urban life was like in different eras.
The collection includes three canvases, created with a large time gap but united by a dichotomy: admiration or escape from the bustle of the big city: Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s “The Fight Between Carnival and Lent” (1559), Claude-Joseph Vernet’s “Landscape at Sunset” (1773), and Wassily Kandinsky’s “View of Murnau” (1908).
Bruegel’s noisy human celebration is contrasted with the tranquility of a piece of Bavarian urban nature by Kandinsky and the serenity of evening fishing in the port by Vernet. This series reflects the eternal choice between the frenzied pace of the big city and peaceful solitude in the sounds of nature.
