Bells of Chianti

“I remember, as a kid, I had a camera and I was sort of fascinated with that camera. I’d take pictures and would be so excited about bringing the photographs to my friends. Now, more as an adult and as an artist, it’s really cool and really special to be able to do a painting of a place and then bring that to them in the gallery. Now you have a theater, a place where you can show your work and share those memories, those feelings, those times that you had at that spot.” – Charles Pabst

For art aficionados who wish to embark on a journey to Italy, a trip to Marcus Ashley Gallery will provide an enriching preview. The showroom’s comprehensive repertoire of Charles Pabst art includes several impressionistic paintings portraying different parts of the European country.

Bells of Chianti is one example. Most people associate Chianti with the popular wine, but it is also the namesake of its source. This Tuscany region boasts of more than just vino.  The lovely bell towers atop its Catholic churches are a tourist attraction, too, and Pabst lovingly renders one of them on canvas with skilled brushstrokes.

The architectural splendor of the Bells of Chianti is brought out by the disparity between light and dark colors, a hallmark of the artist’s work. This mesmerizing work of art will add a warm aesthetic to an upscale or cozy space. The gallery provides worldwide shipping, and its team is more than happy to assist with inquiries or requests.
