| Abstract: | Christian Attard reviews the exhibition Landscape Interpretations at the George Fenech Museum, featuring works by Esprit Barthet, Antoine Camilleri, and Lino Borg. The article explores how these artists use landscape painting not merely as topographical representation but as a means of personal reflection, spiritual reprieve, and a reaction to Malta’s profound transformations over eight decades. Attard highlights the tension between idealized, "timeless" depictions of Malta and the looming realities of war, industrialization, and modern land speculation. |
