Stadhuis in Capodistria 1902

Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande's 1902 watercolor "Stadhuis in Capodistria" captures the bustling scene of a marketplace in front of the Capodistria Town Hall. The artist, known for his travel sketches, depicts the building with loose strokes and washes of color, capturing the essence of the Italian architecture. The composition is characterized by the central archway leading into the courtyard and the figures of people, adding a sense of life and activity to the scene. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artist's preference for capturing the unique character of places and moments in time.
