An Oil on Canvas of a Mountain Village with Church Tower.
An evocative oil on canvas depicting a secluded mountain village nestled between darkened hills. At the centre of the composition stands a cylindrical stone church with a red-tiled roof, accompanied by a tall adjoining bell tower rising prominently against a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. The surrounding cluster of buildings, rendered in muted ochres and warm earth tones, feature small shuttered windows and sloping roofs that enhance the rustic character of the scene.
The village is positioned atop rocky terrain overlooking a narrow river or gorge below, with a stone bridge partially visible to the left. Deep shadows in the foreground contrast with illuminated clouds above, creating a moody, atmospheric effect suggestive of dusk or an approaching storm.
Approximately 94.5 x 69.3cm (incl. frame)
