About this work

This painting shows a small village nestled at the foot of a rocky hill. The buildings are simple, with flat roofs and rough stone walls. A river runs through the center, spilling over a wooden dam. The colors are earthy—greens, browns, and grays—with a few patches of red and blue on the roofs. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on the rocks and water. It feels like the artist wanted you to see the rough, uneven surfaces. If you like this style, look up impasto.
