About this work

This painting shows a simple village scene with a few houses and a clear sky. The buildings have red-tiled roofs and pale walls, and a tall tree leans in from the right. In the middle, three white statues stand on a low wall, looking out over a patch of green grass. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the scene a textured feel. The colors are bright but not perfectly blended, which makes the painting feel lively. If you like this style, look up impasto.
