About this work

This painting shows a city street with old buildings. The colors are mostly reds, whites, and grays, and the brushstrokes are thick and rough. A tall streetlamp stands in the foreground, and the buildings have arched windows and worn facades. The artist used bold, uneven strokes to create a sense of texture and movement. The way light and shadow play across the buildings feels almost three-dimensional. Look up *impasto* to see how this technique works.
