Rezidenz Platz (Salzburg)

About this work

This painting shows a simple city street with a yellow building and two dark archways. In front, a horse pulls a heavy cart loaded with something bulky. The building has small windows and a balcony with a railing. On the right, a row of tiny figures walks along a sidewalk, and another building sits next to it. The brushstrokes are loose and rough, giving the scene a quick, sketchy feel. The colors are flat, with no deep shadows or highlights. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint can change a painting’s texture.
