Description
My wife and I were recently able to travel to Italy and believe me, Italy is "all it's cracked up to be" from a "beauty everywhere" standpoint. Of course, the art and architecture in all the major cities is magnificent, but in this painting I wanted to capture and express the beauty of the small cities and towns that are scattered throughout Italy's countryside. One of my strongest impressions as we traveled around was how many small and medium sized cities there are that are the like the one I chose to paint. Lovely hilltop towns with a tower or two, beautiful colors, cypress trees, symmetry and general visual beauty. I love the similarity, yet subtle differences in the colors of the structures and the rooftops. Of course, the two beautiful towers on the left provide a great visual treat balanced visually by the lovely cypress trees on the right. And, there is a great pattern of dark shadows throughout. Just enough green, increasing from left to right, provides a nice contrast with the earth tones in the structures. Of course, I based this piece on one particular city, but my point in painting it was as an homage, if you will, to all the beautiful hilltop towns and cities of Italy. It is indeed a Bella Citta (beautiful city)!
