Landscape: Galatsi is a 1956 unspecified by Petros Karagiannis, held at Athens School of Fine Arts.
This painting shows a quiet village scene with a few tall, dark trees in the front. Behind them, there are low, light-colored buildings on a gentle hill. The sky is a soft blue, and the ground is painted with quick, rough brushstrokes of green and brown. The artist used thick paint in some spots, giving the trees and hills a textured look. It feels like the scene was painted quickly, almost like a sketch. Try looking up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
This Greek artist made two works in 1956: a painting titled Landscape: Galatsi and a metalwork titled Synthesis.
