About this work

This painting shows a cluster of old stone buildings with red-tiled roofs packed close together. Behind them, a rocky cliff rises up before the sea appears in the far distance. The colors are mostly earthy—beige walls, muted greens, and the deep blue of the water. The artist used thick, visible brushstrokes to suggest texture in the buildings and rocks. Some areas, like the cliff, look almost sculpted, with light and shadow playing across the surface. Look up impasto next to see how this technique works.
