About this work

This painting shows a rooftop with a tall, skinny tower behind it. The building looks old, with dark, uneven walls and a slanted roof. A tree with bare branches sits on the right side. The sky is a light blue, but the paint looks rough and uneven. The artist used thick brushstrokes that make the colors pop in some spots. The tower looks like a mosque, but we can’t be sure. The painting feels a little messy, but that’s part of its charm. If you like this style, check out impasto—it’s the technique of slapping thick paint on a canvas.
