Description: | Signed: yes Description: Santoro depicted the view looking down the river Arno to the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. This is one of a number of cityscapes which he painted. The expansive blue sky is reflected in the expanse of water in the foreground. The shimmering light on the water is reflected on the waterside buildings. The application of paint through loose brush-strokes and vivid colours demonstrates an awareness of art in France and the practice of painting outdoors. This work also reflects the growing trend amongst late nineteenth-century Italian artists in painting subjects such as cityscapes that allowed them to explore their own culture. | Subjects: | Ponte Vecchio) townscape; place (Florence | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Santoro, Francesco Raffaello (Italian artist, 1844-) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8902... | Go to resource |
