Firenze

“The magnificent size and beauty of the Duomo can be seen and appreciated from many of the back streets of Florence.” – Charles Pabst

At the Marcus Ashley Gallery, one can revel in Charles Pabst art, which encapsulates the artist’s fascination and love for Southwest America and the countries he travels to. Pabst is highly praised by the art community, private collectors, and fans for his distinct craftsmanship and unique perspectives.

The artist captures the beauty of Florence’s cobblestone bylanes in Firenze that offer some of the most breathtaking views of the iconic Duomo. Designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, the marble Renaissance basilica commands the Italian skyline. Many tourists flock to Florence to explore the grand majesty of this cathedral that Pabst gives us a glimpse of in Firenze.

In this painting, thick layers of paint create a patchwork of riveting hues with hints of terracotta, olive green, and gold. Pabst relies on a palette brush to achieve textural depth and dimension, giving Firenze a classic impressionist appeal.

One cannot help but imagine being the lone figure traversing through the back streets of Florence, soaking up the history of this foreign land. Firenze will make a lovely addition to an avid traveler’s growing fine art collection.
