About this work

This painting shows a small town nestled in a valley, with a tall church tower standing out in the center. The buildings are clustered together, and the rooftops are a mix of red and brown. In the foreground, there’s a stone bridge with a railing, and thick green trees frame the scene on either side. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the painting a bright, almost sketchy feel. The church tower is the clear focal point, rising above the other buildings. The colors are warm and earthy, with pops of green from the trees and blue from the sky peeking through. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
