"Opera di grande impatto dinamico che coniuga (e cita) due tendenze. Da una parte, quella dello stesso Baldessari di "Alta velocità", aeropittura ritenuta precocissima ed usualmente attribuita al 1923 ma che è ormai accertato essere del 1932. Dall'altra invece, una tipica visione a volo d'uccello di un lago "alla Dottori". Citazione, quest'ultima, piuttosto che copiatura, proprio perché Baldessari nei primi anni Trenta si stava ravvicinando al Futurismo dopo oltre un lustro al figurativo e quindi doveva per forza allinearsi alle nuove tendenze che non erano più quelle di Boccioni, Carrà o Balla (che lo ispirarono negli anni Dieci), ma piuttosto di Dottori (come in questo caso) e di Prampolini (come in altri suoi dipinti della prima metà degli anni Trenta). Opera comunque significativa che dimostra ancora una volta la sua solida personalità pittorica".

"A work of great dynamic energy, combining (and alluding to) two separate tendencies. On one hand, that adopted by Baldessari himself in "Alta velocità", an aeropainting considered to be a very early work and usually attributed to 1923, although now identified as dating to 1932. And on the other, a typical bird's eye view of a lake, "in the style of Dottori". The latter providing a reference point rather than being a copy, since in the early Thirties, after more than five years of figurative work, Baldessari was turning back to Futurism and thus inevitably allied himself with the latest tendencies, no longer those of Boccioni, Carrà or Balla (who had been his inspiration in the second decade of the twentieth century), but rather those of Dottori (as in this case) and Prampolini (as in other paintings he produced in the first half of the 1930s). A significant work nevertheless that once again displays his robust pictorial personality".
