This painting shows a crumbling stone tower with broken windows and a tattered roof. The walls are peeling, revealing patches of red and yellow beneath. In front of it, a grassy hill slopes down to a dark, muddy waterway, with a few trees and bushes scattered around. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, almost like the texture of the ruins themselves. It feels like the artist grabbed the paint and went for it, making the scene look real and worn. If you like this style, look up impasto.
