This painting depicts sunrise over a city, shrouded in morning silence and soft light. A lilac-blue palette sets the mood—cool, slightly pensive—as if the city is just beginning to awaken.
The city seems to float between sleep and reality. The silhouettes of buildings stand out against the sky in soft, yet vibrant lines. Their reflections stretch across the smooth, almost mirror-like surface of the sea—calm, quiet, as if holding its breath. Gentle ripples subtly distort the outlines of the buildings, creating a feeling of slightly unreal, like in dreams.
Yellow gleams of sunlight break through the blue-lilac background, illuminating the tops of the buildings and gilding the water, lending the entire scene a special warmth. This contrast between the coolness of the night and the warmth of the coming day makes the composition vibrant and meaningful—a moment of transition, hope, a new beginning.
Overall, the painting conveys a sense of peace and anticipation—as if the entire city pauses for a second before beginning a new day.
