An Overcast Day in Florence near Ponte Santa Trinità is a 1888 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a river with a stone bridge carrying a road and stairs down to the water. On the right, a person sits near the edge, and a small boat floats empty in the river. Buildings line the far side, with a church spire rising above them. The sky is pale and hazy, and the water looks calm but slightly choppy. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like a sketch. The colors are muted, with soft blues and grays blending into the river and buildings. Check out Impressionism for more paintings like this.
