Firenze
From the collection of Järvenpää Art Museum
Dominant colour
Firenze is a work by Eero Järnefelt, held at Järvenpää Art Museum.
This painting shows a quiet waterfront scene with a row of colorful buildings. The houses are painted in warm yellows and reds, with some greenery tucked between them. Three small boats float on calm water in the foreground, while a hill with trees and a large building rises in the background. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a soft, dreamy feel. The artist seems to focus on light and color over fine details. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture in art.
