Vintage MCM Impressionist Oil Painting of Castle Ruins in Late Evening Sunset

Wow! This stunning Vintage MCM Impressionist Painting truly must be seen in person to completely appreciate it! The painter surely was awestruck by the silhouette of this grand castle’s ruins outlined by the late evening sun setting in orange and yellow. I am too.

This painting has all the best vintage colors mixed in: there are burgundies, yellows, oranges, and browns everywhere we look. The ruins are black except where the late evening sun just caresses the outlines of the castle. Looking at the painting up close yields the strokes of both paint brush and painter’s knife. The overlapping of color layers can be seen when standing closer to the painting.

There is clearly a lot of artist technique here to explore. However, the subject is interesting too. Where is this castle? How did it come to ruin? It’s a great mid-century painting that is eye-catching, conversation-starting, and appealing to view. A few nicks and scratches to the frame. It’s signed and framed at 20 x 40 inches.
