Artist: Henri Matisse Painting: “Open Window Amalfi Coast Lemon Tree” Canvas Art, Impasto Italian Seaside Town, Positano Bright, vivid colors splash the Amalfi Coast of a summer day in Positano, Italy. Beneath the warm Italian sun, brushstrokes capture the charm of both mountains and shore dominated by the splashes of bright, golden fruit that hangs from the fertile lemon tree. Vision leads to a cluster of village homes topped with terracotta roofs, contrasting the pristine white siding, all nestled on the hill. Heavy, textured strokes wake the sparkling sea- the Mediterranean, dotted with sailboats reflecting upon shimmering blues and greens. And past a cobblestone path, which reflects the vivid splashes of beaming, sunny colors, boldly capture, with the Impasto technique, suggested reflections on the water, pathway, and building, bringing forth a feeling of reality amid a dreamlike atmosphere of artistry.
