Ancient flame 1968

"Ancient Flame," a 1968 painting by Azerbaijani artist Sattar Bahlulzade, depicts a city from a distance, likely a cityscape of Baku, his hometown. The artist's distinctive brushstrokes, reminiscent of pointillism, add a sense of depth and movement to the scene. The vibrant hues of the city and the sky contrast with the cooler tones of the foreground, giving a sense of warmth and life. This oil-on-canvas piece captures a moment of tranquility and reflects Bahlulzade's mastery of color and composition.
