20th Century Italian Illustrator Gianna Renna depicts a emotionally-charged scene of three men on a raft descending into a fiery abyss. His conception and execution of Jules Verne's classic story "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is brilliantly rendered and designed to show maximum drama. The real story in looking at the work 61 years after it was done is not about how the artist puts an author's words into a picture. The point of Gianna Renna's work is that it features high-level painting, drawing, composition, and design skills that are almost completely absent from all of the highly touted contemporary artists that are praised in today's art world. Unsigned, Unframed. Original illustration done by Renna for the novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth" by Jules Verne published in 1963. tempera on heavy illustration board
