R. Serrano - Amsterdam Canal

Contemporary Triptych – Urban View Along an Amsterdam Canal

A panoramic-format triptych that represents a lively urban scene along a canal. The composition shows a row of narrow houses with historicist façades, a tower in the distance, trees, bicycles, pedestrians, and vehicles. In the foreground, several moored boats and their reflections add depth and dynamism to the scene.

The image unfolds continuously across the three canvases, creating a balanced panoramic view. It presents a contemporary figurative style, with defined drawing and visible brushwork; the treatment of water stands out for its fragmented, expressive reflections.

Blue dominates the sky and the canal, combined with ochres, reddish tones, browns, blacks, and whites in the architecture. Green accents from the trees and the red details of vehicles and reflections enrich the palette.

The work appears to be painted on canvas and is presented unframed, with the edges visible. In the lower right corner of the right panel, the artist’s signature and the date can be seen.

The photographs are an essential part of the description and help assess the condition and details of the artwork.
