About this work

This painting shows a busy waterfront with tall, colorful buildings leaning close together. A gondola-style boat cuts across the foreground, its oars resting on the side. Shops line the street—one sign reads "Boulangerie" and another "Les Paris"—while people walk along the sidewalk. The buildings are painted in warm yellows, pinks, and greens, with shutters and balconies adding detail. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a lively, textured look. This style is called *impasto*, where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost see the strokes. Next, check out impasto to see how this technique works in other paintings.
