View of an Italian Town (after Titian or Domenico Campagnola)

Bolognese 17th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a cluster of buildings gradually rising to the left. The horizon is filled with more buildings, towers, and spires. The brushstrokes create texture and detail in the rooftops, walls, and surrounding areas. The color scheme is sepia-toned, giving an antique effect. Diagonal lines closest to us suggest pathways or roads. Trees and vegetation in the distance frame the architecture.
