A traditional river barge glides beneath the stone arches, while bare trees frame the scene, enhancing the sense of depth and movement.

Medieval Chapel of Saint Nicholas: A beautifully preserved Romanesque structure that adds architectural and historical significance. Atmospheric Lighting & Reflections: The interplay of stormy skies, diffused sunlight, and shimmering water reflections adds a dramatic quality. Masterful Ink & Watercolor Detailing: The delicate inkwork highlights the stone textures, riverbank foliage, and architectural depth. A captivating tribute to Avignon’s rich medieval heritage, this painting is ideal for collectors drawn to historic landmarks, French architecture, and atmospheric river scenes.
