Strada Clemenței

About this work

This painting shows a snowy city street sloping downhill. Buildings line both sides, their roofs dusted white. A few people walk along the sidewalks, some bundled up. Cars and a horse-drawn cart share the narrow road, while store signs hang on the buildings—one for "Lux" and another for "Frizier." The brushstrokes are thick, especially on the buildings and snow, giving the scene texture. The light is soft, like winter sun struggling through clouds. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint like this creates depth.
