Acre- view on the old walls

This sweeping oil painting captures the ancient beauty of Acre’s shoreline under a dramatic, illuminated sky. The scene unfolds at sunset, when the last light of day ignites the clouds in vibrant hues of orange, gold, and violet. The textured sky dominates the composition, swirling with movement and color, reflecting across the Mediterranean waters below. The historic walls and towers of Acre rise along the horizon, rendered with soft, weathered tones that evoke centuries of history. Subtle details in the architecture — arches, rooftops, stone textures — anchor the scene firmly in place while the dynamic sky and shimmering waves infuse it with energy and emotion. In the foreground, the water rolls gently toward the viewer, shifting from deep turquoise to soft green, with white foam catching the warm light. This interplay between calm sea and blazing sky creates a powerful sense of atmosphere — both serene and majestic. A celebration of Acre’s timeless coastal landscape, the painting blends realism with expressive color, inviting the viewer to feel the breeze, the warmth of sunset, and the poetry of a historic city embraced by the sea.
