Santa Maria Basilica. Castello d'Empuries

Piece description from the artist

The Santa Maria Basilica, located in the municipality of Castelló d'Empúries in Girona, Catalonia, Spain, has for centuries been regarded as the Empordà Cathedral. The building is the second largest in the Costa Brava, after the Girona Cathedral, and is big enough to justify cathedral status. It is a Gothic building begun in the thirteenth century that replaced a primitive Romanesque church from the tenth century. It was completed in the fifteenth century, when the marble facade and the alabaster altarpiece of the main altar were finished. On this canvas I also depicted a beautiful field with sunflowers, located next to the mentioned cathedral. Oil, canvas. Signed. Varnished.

About Natalia Shchipakina

Empuriabrava, Spain

Painting has been my passion since childhood. Among many different techniques oil painting is my favorite.

Themes of my paintings are as variegated as our world: cities, people, life, animals, dramatic art, nature. I am greatly influenced by such famous artists like Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Isaac Levitan, Auguste Renoir. My work was strongly influenced by Picasso. The painting Girl on the Ball made a big impression on me in my childhood.

Thank you for visiting my page. Hope you will find something you will like.
