DescriptionStephen McKenna identified as European and travelled widely, exploring through paint the legacy of Europe’s cultural heritage. He drew on classical traditions in a personal exploration of still lifes, interiors, seascapes and landscapes, which he represented with distinctive atmospheric conditions, as in this painting of an Italian hilltop fortress lit by the setting sun.
