This impressive original painting was created in 1978 by German artist Alexander Michael. It presents a panoramic view of a southern Italian coastal town, vividly capturing the character and warmth of Mediterranean architecture. Executed in a bold, expressive-impressionist style, the painting features dynamic brushwork and rhythmic composition. The vibrant red and ochre rooftops stretch across the foreground, drawing the eye toward the central church with its colorful dome, set against the serene blue of the sea and sky. The color palette is rich in warm oranges, reds, and yellows, contrasted by cool blues and turquoises in the sea and sky, along with soft pastels in the buildings – a beautiful harmony of urban life and natural serenity. The painting is signed 'AM 78' in the lower right corner. Oil on canvas. Presented in a dark wooden frame, it complements the vivid energy of the scene without distraction. A vibrant portrayal of Italian coastal charm – perfect for collectors and admirers of Mediterranean culture and bold impressionist painting.

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.
