About this work

This painting shows a rough, rocky hillside with a small village clinging to it. The buildings are simple, with one yellow-roofed church standing out. A winding path cuts through the scene, and a few tiny figures walk near the bottom. The colors are mostly earthy browns and blues, with some white and yellow accents. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, almost like the rocks themselves. This style makes the scene feel uneven and raw, as if the paint was scraped on. This painting uses impasto, a technique where paint is laid on thickly.
