This is a vertical oil painting of the Galata Tower in Istanbul, Turkey
MomentThis is a vertical oil painting of the Galata Tower in Istanbul, Turkey. The tower, depicted in shades of orange and brown, stands tall in the center of the canvas, its conical roof reaching towards a sky rendered in streaks of yellow, orange, and gray. Flanking the tower are tall, narrow buildings painted in rich browns, golds, and purples, with many windows and architectural details suggested by thick brushstrokes. The foreground shows a street or promenade with a perspective leading towards the tower. Several small figures, depicted with minimal detail in blues and reds, are walking away from the viewer towards the tower, suggesting a sense of movement and scale. Birds are scattered across the sky. The overall style is impressionistic, with visible impasto texture. A signature is present in the lower right corner.
