Pod peste Sena

About this work

This painting shows a rough, brushy city scene with a bridge in the foreground. The bridge has a dark arch and red-brown stonework. Behind it, buildings are painted in thick, uneven strokes—some with warm yellows and pinks, others in muddy browns. The sky is pale and blurry, while a patch of green shows on the right side. The brushstrokes are so thick they almost look like they were slapped on. This technique, called *impasto*, makes the paint stand out in clumps. Look up impasto to see more examples of this bold, textured style.
