About this work

This painting shows a hilly town by the sea. A tall white tower with a pointed top stands out in the center. The buildings below are small, with flat roofs and earthy colors. The hills roll down to the water, which looks calm and far off. The brushstrokes are thick, almost like the paint was scraped on. It gives the scene a rough, textured look, especially on the rooftops and hills. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
