Rough atmosphere and mobile light: River Landscape with Bell Tower in Stormy Weather
The scene opens on a turbulent stream, where heavy reflections seem to capture the tension of the sky; dark clouds frame the bell tower, which stands as an anchoring point. The palette favors ash tones, deep greens, and ochres, highlighted by lighter touches that convey the vibration of light after the storm. The composition, both balanced and dynamic, emphasizes the relationship between architecture and nature, while the pictorial treatment suggests a sensitive mastery of the movement of air and water. This chromatic interpretation gives the work a contemplative and dramatic intensity.
