Kaupunkikuva is an unspecified by Gunvor Grönvik, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a cityscape with a mix of buildings and hills in the background. The sky is light with soft blue and pink brushstrokes, while the ground has warm browns and yellows. Leafless trees line a narrow street, and a few small figures walk along it. The colors are thick and rough, giving the scene a textured look. The painting’s loose brushwork makes the city feel distant and dreamy. The artist used bold strokes to show light and shadow without smooth blending. Look up impasto to see how thick paint can create texture in art.
