This charming original oil painting was created in 1983 by German artist Alexander Michael. It captures the sun-drenched market square of San Felice Circeo, a picturesque town on the Italian tyrrhenian coast. Executed in a vibrant impressionist style, the work features expressive, textured brushstrokes that convey the warmth and character of Mediterranean architecture. The sunlit facades, climbing greenery, and detailed archways are brought to life with rich color and light. The color palette includes warm ochres, terracotta reds, and soft violet hues, beautifully contrasted with lush greens from climbing plants and floral highlights. The ground of the square is painted in lively purples and blues, reflecting the ambient light. The painting is signed 'AM 83' in the lower left corner. It is set in a classic, gilded wooden frame with a cream mat, elegantly complementing the sun-soaked Italian atmosphere. A captivating piece of Italian urban romance – perfect for collectors or lovers of Mediterranean scenes.

Alexander Michael (1939-2024) was a German landscape, still life and architectural painter. His paintings can be stylistically assigned to Impressionism or a late Impressionist style. His loose painting style, applied with a sure hand, creates a lively and atmospheric effect with visible brushstrokes and bright colors. The light conditions, color tones and the artist's subjective perception are characteristic of his works.
