About this work

This painting shows a small town built into a steep hillside, with buildings stacked up like steps. In the foreground, there’s a low stone wall with two flowerpots—one holding bright pink flowers—and a tall, narrow column. The water in front of the town is calm, and the sky above is soft with light brushstrokes. The artist used thick, visible paint strokes, especially on the hills and sky, giving the scene a textured look. The colors are warm and earthy, with cool blues in the water. Look up impasto to see how this technique works in other paintings.
