About this work

This painting shows a small village with white buildings topped by bright red roofs. Tall, dark trees frame the scene on both sides, and the sky above is a soft, pale blue. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. The red roofs stand out sharply against the muted colors of the buildings and trees. The artist’s use of thick paint makes the scene feel almost three-dimensional. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
