Dated 1904, the painting Mezzogiorno a Manarola is part of the Ligurian production of Llewelyn Lloyd. The painting represents a glimpse of the ancient and picturesque village of the Cinque Terre enveloped in a seductive light that impregnates everything, from the stones, to the rocks, to the roofs of the houses, conceived with brushstrokes that are now full-bodied, now point-like, sloping down from purple to pale pink. Attracted to the heart of the canvas by the restful shaded area that dominates the proscenium, the gaze is invited to pause on the single, delicate, central figure and then move to the opposite side, to contemplate the solitary, lithe and thread-like tree, an element of connection between the rustic architecture, the promontory and the sea, outlined by a minute weaving of short horizontal filaments that intersect blue, white, pink.
