About the artwork

An enchanting oil painting of a typical Italian terrace, where the charm of southern life comes alive. The square is filled with square tables on either side, each with a pair of chairs. The tables are covered with white tablecloths, providing a beautiful contrast to the lively surroundings. The sky is clear and deep blue.

Coloured flags hang merrily in the air, swirling in the gentle breeze, adding a sense of festivity and vibrancy to the scene. The colours of the flags range from bright red, blue, green to yellow and orange, adding to the sense of joy that permeates the alley. The sky has that typical Italian charm, with a play of colours that reflects the warmth and optimism of the Mediterranean climate.

The floor of the terrace is covered with square tiles in a pattern of different colours and shades: warm terracotta, pale yellow and cream colours that together create a rustic but sophisticated look. The tiles have a slightly worn appearance, highlighting the square's old-world charm and suggesting the village's history.

Surrounding the terrace are houses in cheerful colours, each picturesque in its own right. The facades are painted in warm, inviting shades: yellow, soft red, and deep orange, with touches of blue and even lavender for added playfulness. The windows are decorated with wooden shutters, usually painted in a green or brown hue, providing a nice contrast against the bright colours of the walls.

The combination of the quaint houses, the lively street and the endless view of a blue sky creates a sense of timelessness, as if you were in a charming village in Italy, far away from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. The painting exudes a sense of tranquillity, cosiness and joy.
