Piazza del Popolo, Orvieto is a 1880 watercolor by Robert Weir Allan, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a busy square with old stone buildings. A large church with a tall tower stands in the center, its arched doorway packed with people. To the left, a covered market area has stalls and a horse pulling a cart. The sky is pale, and the ground is wet, maybe from rain. People in long coats and hats walk or stand in groups, some holding umbrellas. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to show movement and light. The colors are soft, blending into each other like a foggy day. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
