About this work

This painting shows a messy, layered landscape with thick brushstrokes. The colors are muddy browns, dull greens, and patches of white and gray, almost like the paint was slapped on. In the middle, a few buildings peek through the chaos, and a river runs at the bottom. The paint is so thick in spots it looks almost three-dimensional, like you could feel the texture. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly instead of smoothly. Check out technique: impasto to see more paintings like this.
