Lorenzo Mattotti’s “Summer Rays”

For the cover of the August 18, 2025, issue, the artist Lorenzo Mattotti portrays the symphony of sight, sound, smell, and touch which comes to life when you walk in nature. “In my family, everyone loves going on weeklong hikes,” Mattotti said. “I don’t, but I try to capture that experience with my imagination.”
