About the Item
Work on canvas
Dimensions with frame 65.5 x 88.5 x 3 cm
This artistic work reveals a panoramic view of a port city, captured with an impressive mastery of the pictorial technique. The canvas is imbued with a vibrant atmosphere that testifies to the effervescence of the city and its port. In the foreground, buildings seem to stretch out chaotically yet harmoniously, adding an almost abstract touch to the composition. The artist has used quick, bold brushstrokes, creating a rich, dynamic texture that brings each structure to life. The precision of the architectural details contrasts with the freer style employed for natural elements, such as trees and vegetation. The waters of the harbor occupy the visual center of the canvas, with moored ships adding a dimension of movement and activity. The effect of light on the water is subtly rendered, reinforcing the depth and perspective of the landscape. Light reflections on the waves captivate the eye, transporting the viewer into the middle of a maritime scene. In the background, hills rise gently, their crest line marking the end of the city and announcing the horizon. The silvery-blue sky is crossed by scattered clouds that seem to dance with the wind, adding a sense of lightness and fluidity to the whole work. This painting is not just a representation of an urban landscape; it's an invitation to plunge into the soul of a place through the eyes of the artist.
The juxtaposition of techniques and attention to detail give this work an undeniable singularity. It's a celebration of urban and maritime life, where every element found on the canvas tells a story and takes the viewer on a fascinating visual journey.
