Paul Burlin

The Ghost City
1936

An expressive oil painting depicting a vibrant, hilly landscape with various architectural structures, including a church with a prominent red roof and a steeple. The foreground shows a broken wooden cart near a deep pit, while the background features rolling hills with scattered buildings under a dynamic blue sky with fluffy clouds. The brushwork is loose and impressionistic, adding a sense of movement and texture to the scene.
