About the Item

Work on canvas cardboard Golden wooden frame 24.5 x 30.5 x 2 cm This work of art depicts a bustling market scene, brimming with life and movement. The dynamic composition immediately draws the viewer into the heart of the action, where a multitude of characters move in an open space, dominated by an ancient building with a remarkable bell tower in the background. The earthy hues and subtly applied touches of color demonstrate the artist's technical skill, evoking an atmosphere that is both lively and warm. The play of light and shadow creates a striking depth, highlighting architectural details as well as the animation of everyday scenes. The artist succeeds in capturing the excitement of a local market, where each character seems absorbed in their own tasks: merchants, buyers and passers-by meet in a harmonious urban choreography. The trees in the background add a touch of nature to this vibrant painting, balancing the human and archaeological elements. This work is distinguished by its balance between realism and impressionism, illustrated by brushstrokes which, although visible, provide a certain fluidity to the whole. It is an authentic depiction of a traditional scene, imbued with the essence of everyday life and human interaction. The artist, with assertive mastery, immortalizes a fleeting and universal moment, creating a timeless connection with those who contemplate this vibrant scene of living history.
