Costa Foz do Douro II Painting

At the mouth of the Douro River is this Farolim da Barra do Douro, in Portugal. The painter presents us with the Lighthouse on the coast of Portugal where the light of sunset turns this work of warm tones. The view goes to the lighthouse, located at the golden point. There is a stillness in the scene and the atmosphere achieved suggests relaxation. This increases it through the chromatic range represented. Soft contrasts of blue tones in the sea with pale and salmon pinks in the sky melt to yellows that blend with very pale blues. The painter flees from the representation of figures in the work. He argues that only the space attracted him to paint it and despite the fact that this place is always very crowded, he captured a type of solitude and calm that the architecture of the walk to the lighthouse offered him and the calm that the sea had at that time.
