Table Mountain Painting on Board 86 cm L

Original Art Table Mountain Painting on Board glass glazed in gold tone frame which complements the warm colours of the artwork. Signed by artist Ferdinand K. 18-11-86 Dimensions 86 cm L 57.5 cm H 4 cm W The painting captures the beauty and serenity of the Cape Town landscape at twilight, evoking a sense of peace and tranquility depicting Table Mountain, Devil's Peak w/th other peaks of the Twelve Apostles mountain range. The city lights are suggested by small white dots along the coastline. An impressionistic/expressionistic style - capturing the essence and mood of the scene rather than precise detail. Brushstrokes are visible, and colors are blended to create a sense of atmosphere. Artists like Vincent van Gogh, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Marc Chagall, and Gustav Klimt have used similar styles. The artist uses a warm color palette for the sky, transitioning from orange to red, suggesting a sunset or sunrise. Cool blues dominate the foreground, representing the ocean. The mountains are painted in dark shades, contrasting with the sky. The composition is fairly simple, with the mountain range acting as a strong horizontal element, balanced by the vertical reflections in the water. The painting technique seems to involve layering and blending of colors, with some areas showing more texture than others. The reflections in the water are depicted with vertical strokes, adding movement and depth.
