About this work

This painting shows a village nestled in a hilly landscape. The buildings have red roofs and white walls, with one dome-shaped structure standing out. Trees dot the scene, and the colors are mostly earthy—greens, browns, and yellows—with some darker shadows in the foreground. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured, almost rough look. This style makes the colors pop and adds depth without smooth blending. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
