Title: Oil painting Tour of the ancient castle Yuriy Suprunchuk Description: No.AAA5707The Oil painting Cardboard titled "Tour of the ancient castle" invites the viewer into a timeless scene where history, architecture, and human curiosity converge. The composition focuses on the towering presence of a medieval castle, rendered with bold strokes of ochre, sienna, and earthy browns that highlight the aged texture of its walls and the dignity of its enduring form. The artist captures not only the architectural grandeur of the fortress but also the human scale of interaction with it, as small figures at the base suggest visitors exploring and experiencing this relic of the past. The castle itself dominates the canvas with its massive walls and rising towers, their spires piercing the sky. The brushwork is vigorous and impressionistic, layering multiple hues to suggest the erosion of centuries, weathered stone, and the interplay of light and shadow across the rugged surfaces. The main tower, positioned prominently on the left, exudes authority and resilience. Its arched gateway, dark and inviting, appears as an entrance into history itself, beckoning the viewer to imagine the countless footsteps that have crossed its threshold. Around the main tower, additional spires and walls extend into the background, their forms slightly softened by distance but no less imposing. The turrets, with their pointed roofs and decorative details, recall the defensive strength and symbolic power of ancient castles, evoking both protection and prestige. The warm tones of the architecture glow under the light, enhanced by touches of gold and amber, which give the impression of sunlight brushing against the aged stone. Contrasting this architectural dominance is the human presence at the foot of the castle. Small groups of figures, painted with quick yet purposeful strokes, suggest tourists or villagers gathered near the entrance. They wear garments of red, blue, and muted tones that stand out against the earthy palette of the castle walls. Though they are dwarfed by the scale of the fortress, their inclusion adds a vital narrative element: the enduring fascination of people with monuments of the past, and the way history continues to shape and inspire the present.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Tour of the ancient castle"* ARTIST: Yuriy Suprunchuk* SIZE: 30x20 cm/11.81x7.87 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, cardboard* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: we tried to convey the maximum information with the help of photos about this product About the artist: Zhitomir artist Suprunchuk Yuri Sergeevich Born on April 11, 1961, in the city of Zhitomir.
