Title: Oil painting Walking tour of the old town Oleksiy Ivanyuk Description: No.AAA5785The Oil painting Canvas titled "Walking tour of the old town" captures the charm and atmosphere of a historical settlement through expressive brushwork, vibrant colors, and thickly layered textures. The composition immerses the viewer in a lively, sunlit scene where architectural heritage and human presence blend seamlessly, evoking the timeless spirit of an old European town. In the foreground, a winding cobblestone street is rendered in a palette of creamy whites, ochres, and soft blues, with thick impasto strokes that give the surface a tactile richness. Figures of townsfolk are scattered along the path, painted in bold strokes of red, green, and dark tones. Though impressionistic and simplified, their postures and groupings suggest conversations, leisurely strolls, or daily errands, filling the scene with human warmth and interaction. These figures provide both scale and rhythm, leading the eye naturally deeper into the townscape. The architecture dominates the middle ground, where buildings with whitewashed walls and vibrant red roofs rise proudly against the backdrop of distant hills. The roofs, painted with thick, fiery strokes of crimson and orange, glow as if illuminated by late afternoon sunlight, their warmth contrasting beautifully with the cooler tones of shadows and surrounding foliage. Among these structures, the most striking is the pair of church towers, their spires soaring into the sky with an imposing presence. Painted in darker reds and deep earthy tones, they stand as enduring symbols of the town’s cultural and spiritual legacy. The natural surroundings, captured with lush greens and purples, frame the architectural forms and add depth to the composition. Trees are depicted with quick, energetic strokes of green and black, their movement suggesting a breeze passing through. The background unfolds into soft, rolling mountains painted in shades of lilac, lavender, and blue, their misty presence contrasting with the solidity of the town. Above, the sky is alive with dynamic brushwork, where light blues and whites interweave to depict drifting clouds, creating an ever-changing canopy over the bustling street below.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Walking tour of the old town"* ARTIST: Oleksiy Ivanyuk* SIZE: 15x20 cm/5.90x7.87 inches'* MEDIUM: oil, canvas* 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: Born March 13, 1954, in the city of Piryatin, Poltava region.
