Description: This evocative watercolour captures the timeless charm of Blackstone Quay, painted in May 1998. Positioned at the water’s edge, the scene presents an Italian hillside town rising in quiet grandeur. Pale ochre buildings topped with terracotta roofs are nestled tightly into the slope, interwoven with dramatic cypress trees that pierce the skyline. A historic fortress or citadel crowns the hilltop, while the foreground is anchored by a rhythmic row of arched structures along the quay wall, their warm brick tones mirrored subtly in the water.
The composition reflects Tony Herbert’s observational precision and sensitivity to architectural form. Light and shadow are finely balanced, with soft washes of pigment bringing atmosphere to the scene while ink or pencil lines provide clarity. The palette is warm and sun-soaked, suggesting late morning light and the calm pace of coastal life. The elevated viewpoint and compressed depth lend the work a sense of narrative density—every rooftop and tree contributes to the identity of the place. It’s a painting that invites contemplation and quiet admiration.
