Catania in Sicily; The Cycle: Italy

About this work

This painting shows a landscape of a harbor with boats and a lighthouse in the distance. The sky is cloudy and the water is calm. In the foreground, there are buildings and what looks like a rocky shoreline. The painting has a lot of brown and gray tones, which gives it a somber mood. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, which adds to the sense of movement in the scene. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of Jan Ciągliński.
