Buying artworks on the theme of "Urban"

If we often imagine the artist in the countryside representing nature, many also like to sketch in their works the beauties and the very particular attractions of the city. Architecture, Skyline, monuments, avenues, alleys, squares ... There is no lack of urban elements to represent in painting. They are often the witness of a rich history where human activity left its mark. Urban landscapes often offer us breathtaking paintings. Francesco Guard, Camille Pissarro, Edgar Hoppe, Fernand Léger, Antonio Lopez… Here are a few generations of artists who have marked the history of art by knowing how to convey their idealized visions of the city and the urban landscapes that surrounded them.
