When seen online, Coltivazione del limone is an alluring painting. In person it is completely captivating. At roughly 4 x 5 feet, this work commands a room and demands the viewer's attention. It is impossible not to become immersed – and lost – in the lush colors and entangled branches of the lemon trees. The mind delights in losing focus between reality and abstraction. It ranks among Guttuso's finest works.
