Watercolor – San Matteo San Gimignano
This 1994 Watercolor portrays a glimpse of Via San Matteo in San Gimignano, returning the verticality and density of the famous medieval architectures of the village. The work combines a rapid and incisive graphic texture with light water glazes.
The composition is marked by the solemn profile of the towers and historic palaces framing the street. The palette plays on warm tones of ochre, Siena earth, and terracotta, enriched by brown shadows and transparent gray-green shades at the base and along the arches. Upward, the architectural volumes lighten in contact with a clear and golden sky, giving depth and airiness to the glimpse.
A small-format graphic work with strong evocative and testimonial value, ideal for enriching walls of professional studios, corridors, or private collections dedicated to the Tuscan architectural landscape.
