Verona | Arco della Costa and the Palazzo della Ragione | Watercolor painting

Watercolor painting of the city square Piazza delle Erbe in Verona. In the spring of 2010, I took a photo image on location and decided to recreate the composition in watercolor in my studio later that year.

This is the Arco della Costa and the building on the right is the Palazzo della Raggione, built in the 12th century as a city hall of Verona.
Palazzo della Raggione is known for its fine masonry with red and yellow bricks masoned in long courses as well as the Torre dei Lamberti, built in 1172 by the Lamberti family.
On the left in the picture you can see the beautiful mansion with flowers and plants on the balcony above the Osmisi Farmacia Centrale on Via della Costa street.
The city of Verona is of course also extremely famous for the world-famous fictional love story of Romeo and Juliet ( Romeo e Giulietta ) by William Shakespeare, who strangely never visited the city of Verona.

This watercolor painting was created by Ricardo Bouman.

This artwork is offered by WatercolorWall

WatercolorWall is a studio where hand-painted watercolors are made. The person behind the studio is Ricardo Bouman, a graphic designer, photographer and painter with a passion for (far) travel and discovering (mountain) landscapes, cities and architecture.

Ricardo has been painting with watercolors for over 25 years and translates his own travel experiences into paintings. His webshop offers various subjects such as: Illustrative realism, Line drawings, Impressionism, Line & Wash and Modern Abstract painting.

Ricardo is a traditional illustrator and painter. He therefore does not use 'Ai' (artificial intelligence). All his works are handmade and created from his own (travel) experiences, ideas and expertise in the field of painting. His subjects often have a connection with nature, an emotion or a (city) location that he has visited himself.
His motto is: 'To be able to create atmosphere, you must first have tasted it'

Ricardo does everything in a traditional way. From stretching the watercolor paper, sketching and drawing the composition and subject, to painting with watercolors and inks.

All paintings are photographed in high resolution and available in this webshop as wall decoration on various materials and sizes.
