Original artwork description:

~Florence~ 36x24 inch, Oil on Canvas.

This colourful piece depicts the Old Town of Florence, as seen from the Southern side of the Arno River, shortly after sunset. The view is typical of that seen from the iconic square, Piazzale Michelangelo.

Painted in rapid impasto over a soothing and graded sunset, the piece gives the impression of the bold and passionate nature of the city. Bright orange and yellows contrast with the inky darkness of the encroaching night, beacons of light and life as the surrounding Tuscan countryside falls to peace.

Origin of the Renaissance, the painting demonstrates the lively and resilient character of Florence, with particular focus being placed on the banks of the Arno, the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore) and the fortress of the Medici - the Palazzo Vecchio.
