Ponte Vecchio Market

“The inspiration is just my faith, knowing somehow that things will work out.” – Charles Pabst

Visitors will discover that the Marcus Ashley Gallery is an exquisite location to acquire Charles Pabst art. Today, a world-renowned artist, Pabst, tasted success early, having sold his first painting at 14. He continued to paint and over the years has mastered a unique style that comes through in each of his paintings. His landscapes are known to leave viewers longing to escape to the places he conjures.

The Ponte Vecchio symbolizes Florence’s rich, enduring history despite the tumultuous events that threatened its existence. Situated over the Arno River, the bustling arch bridge is a frequent haunt of tourists and locals who delight in the shops and breathtaking views. Pabst captures a charming corner of the bridge in Ponte Vecchio Market. A florist carefully arranges the season’s blooms for sale as pedestrians admire his lovely stall.

The artist injects a medieval atmosphere into the scene using the impasto technique, which introduces a rich composition of texture and value. Dense paint smears, smudges, and blotches come together harmoniously to create a vivid tapestry in Ponte Vecchio Market. Another Italy-inspired painting by the artist, it deserves a place in a quaint or upscale room.
