Transcendent expressiveness is the moving quality in all of Ancheta’s works, and viewers who are fully sensitive to it will take almost as a matter of course the charm of the monumental, if ruined, architecture, the bits of landscape, the stridently beautiful foliage, and other visual accessories of all sorts, which would distinguish this work even in, say, a gallery of early Italian painting.
