About this work

This painting shows a weathered building with a tall tower and a smaller roof next to it. The walls look crumbling, with patches of white and brown peeking through. The ground is uneven, with some rocks and a hint of water near the bottom. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the scene a textured, almost unfinished look. It feels like the artist was trying to capture the building’s worn-down state. Check out impasto to see how thick paint layers create texture like this.
