European Old Town Canal at Dusk Cityscape Oil Painting
Gabled houses, a stone bridge and a lantern-lit boat on an old European canal at dusk — original 40x80 cm (16x31 in) cityscape oil painting, hand-painted.
About this work
Dusk settles over an old European canal town in this large original cityscape oil painting. Tall gabled houses with glowing windows line the water, their facades wrapped in green and autumn-red ivy, while a lone boatman drifts beneath the stone arch bridge with a lantern. On the street above, a man walks his dog, children run past a bicycle leaning on the wall and a woman strolls along the canal; a crescent moon and a flight of birds cross the misty blue sky, and the bridge and lit windows are mirrored in the water. Reminiscent of the old canal towns of Flanders and Holland, such as Bruges and Amsterdam, this old town scene is painted with a nostalgic, storybook charm. Hand-painted in layered oils with raised, tactile texture on a 40x80 cm (16x31 in) stretched canvas, every detail worked by hand, from the gas lamps to the reflections on the canal. A signed, one-of-a-kind original, ready to hang. The tall vertical format makes it ideal large wall art for a hallway, entryway, stairwell or a narrow wall in the living room.
