About this work

This painting shows a simple seaside scene. A tall, narrow tower with a pointed top stands near a building with small windows. The walls are rough and pale, with patches of red and brown. A small boat rests on the shore, and the water is calm and blue. The brushstrokes are thick, almost like texture you could feel. This style is called *impasto*—paint laid on so heavily it sticks out. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint to add depth.
