0.0 x 0.0

50 H x 40 W x 1.5 D cm Oil on Canvas Oil painting with a panoramic view of the heart of Riga, the Old Town, from the opposite bank of the Daugava River, in a sunny, slightly cloudy weather. This view is a visiting card of Riga. All the spiers of the main cathedrals of the city are visible: from left to right - Church of St. Jacob, Dome Cathedral, St. Petra. On the left, the yellow walls with a tower and a spire - this is the main castle of the city, which now is the residence of the President of the country. Riga is over 800 years old. The old city has more Gothic and ancient German architecture. Unfortunately, after World War 2, a third part of the old city died from shells. Therefore, modern and low-rise buildings are being actively built, which greatly dilutes the general atmosphere of antiquity. It is painted in pastel palette, rich colours gradient. It can be attributed to impressionistic or expressionistic styles. Was created in 2018.
