This painting shows a messy, colorful city view from above. Buildings crowd together in warm yellows, reds, and browns, with some white rooftops mixed in. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, making the scene feel rough and alive. The artist used big, chunky paint strokes—some areas look almost like they were slapped on. It’s not smooth or polished, which makes the city feel real and bustling. If you like this style, look up impasto.
