F32407 Béziers in Light

‘Béziers au Crépuscule’ reveals the timeless beauty of this emblematic town in the south of France, sublimated by the golden light of evening.
At the centre of the work, the majestic cathedral of Saint-Nazaire, painted in warm shades of ochre and gold, dominates the urban landscape. Beneath it lie the typical earthy-coloured houses, creating an architectural and historical harmony.
The famous Pont Vieux, depicted in subtle shades of lavender and light grey, is delicately reflected in the calm waters of the Orb, adding to the romantic charm of the composition. The dramatic sky, with its purplish and bluish hues, adds depth and dynamism, evoking a mystical and timeless atmosphere.

Iryna Malynovska uses a modern impressionist technique with a generous application of oil paint and expressive brushstrokes. The rich, saturated colours, combined with the thick textures created by the palette knife, give the work a remarkable tactile intensity, accentuating the luminous effects and reflections on the water.

Despite its compact size (24x24 cm), this painting perfectly captures the historic and romantic soul of Béziers, inviting the viewer to contemplate a scene imbued with poetry and serenity.
