About this work

This painting shows a small, rough-looking tower with a pointed roof, set in a corner of an old town. The buildings around it are simple, with dark roofs and simple walls. The colors are mostly dull greens, grays, and browns, with a bright red door standing out. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured, almost sketchy feel. The lighting is uneven, with some areas dark and others slightly brighter, which makes the tower look solid. Try looking up impasto to see how this technique works in other paintings.
