The Dolomities in Summer: Drawings & Photographs

The Dolomites in Summer is an immersive visual journey through the Pale Mountains — an extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its ethereal beauty and enchanting legends. Through 59 photographs and 58 drawings created en plein air this collection explores the ever-shifting interplay of light, color, and form that defines the Dolomite landscape. Capturing jagged peaks veiled in mist, verdant meadows, and dramatic skies, Woolf’s work transcends mere representation to reveal the metaphysical essence of the mountain. Mountains are not just physical landmarks but as dynamic symbols of reality itself. Woolf’s watercolors, sketches, and photographs emphasize the tension between the tangible terrain and his personal vision, capturing moments of atmospheric mystery and grandeur that evolve with changing weather and light. This book is both an artistic tribute and an invitation to contemplate the deeper “Idea of Mountain” — a reality glimpsed only through the patient eye and creative spirit. Ideal for those who appreciate landscape art and photography, it offers a profound reflection on how nature’s majesty can be grasped and celebrated through the enduring language of art. Read more
