New York Empire State Building

The Empire State Building in a painting

This monumental New York painting offers us a view of the famous midtown building, the Empire State Building, in a modern impressionist style

The building was constructed in 1929, towering 443 metres above New York and the rest of the world. Although it is now technologically and architecturally obsolete, it remains a powerful inspiration for artists of all backgrounds. How many famous contemporary photographers and painters have immortalised the Empire State?

The structure of the canvas

The artist used a neutral tonal range to create this low angle view of the building. He brings in and closes this view with various urban elements, giving us a painting that is both modern and timeless in inspiration, that will fit in with the grandiose decor of an architect's house or a retro atmosphere of art nouveau furniture.
