Clifftop Village, Late Sun / Unknown Artist (Illegibly Signed), (c. 20th century)
Clifftop Village, Late Sun / Unknown Artist (Illegibly Signed), (c. 20th century)
A tour de force of colour and texture, where land, sea, and sky pulse with the light of a late Mediterranean sun.
Thick, expressive brushwork captures the broken geometry of a cliffside village, its villas glowing like embers against a darkening sea of cobalt and turquoise. The palette is saturated but controlled, shifting from warm umbers and crimsons in the foreground to cool greens and mauves in the distant hills, unifying the scene in a shared atmosphere. This is a landscape on the verge of abstraction, where the block-like forms of the houses provide just enough structure to hold the exuberant paint from dissolving into pure gesture.
