Vintage European Village and Old Stone Bridge Impasto Oil Painting by P. Casado

• This captivating, heavily textured original oil painting on canvas capturing a rustic European village scene.
• The composition centers around a historic stone bridge crossing a rocky riverbed, flanked by traditional old-world houses with terracotta-tiled roofs, a quaint church bell tower, and a distant rolling mountain backdrop under a partly cloudy sky.
• The artist, signed as P. Casado in the lower-left corner, utilizes a dynamic impasto technique with thick, expressive palette knife strokes that give the rocks, architecture, and foliage a rich, tactile, and three-dimensional depth.  
• Condition Assessment: The canvas and thick impasto paint layer are in very good vintage condition with vibrant color retention and stable adhesion. The canvas is housed in a handsome, ornate wooden frame featuring a dark brown finish and an inner gold-toned beaded trim; the frame shows light, character-adding scuffs and wear consistent with age, but remains sturdy and beautifully complements the artwork.   
• Dimensions: Canvas/Image area: 21.6" x 18.1"  | Outer Frame: 27" x 24"
