This jewel-like volume of pen, wash and watercolour sketches transports us to the unmistakable landscapes and cityscapes of the Italian peninsula. Anne Desmet RA commits every detail to paper, and the book’s small-scale format emphasises her distinctive flair for capturing the relationship between extreme foreground and distance. This is a unique opportunity to explore the bel paese, from Sicily to the Veneto, through the eyes of a meticulous and precise artist. Anne Desmet ra specialises in wood engravings, linocuts and mixed-media collages. She won a scholarship to the British School at Rome in 1989–90, and has returned regularly to Italy ever since. She lives and works in London. On the cover: Urbino
