Analysis

[edit]

This is the most famous painting by Dominik Skutecký.[citation needed] The attitude of the artist's painting is formed mainly under the influence of Italian art. He lived in Venice 1879–1889, with few interruptions. What he learned in Italy is well-expressed in this painting. The picture depicts a market in Banska Bystrica. Extremely important in this work is the light that radiates optimism, good atmosphere and mood. After 1900, he painted the market in Banská Bystrica again, but the later painting has more spots and shadows.[1][3][4]
