Capicotto’s depiction of London demonstrates his remarkable command of light and colour, resulting in a palette that feels both captivating and alive. The contrast between the cool, tranquil blues of the evening sky and the glowing yellow-orange lights of the city creates a dynamic interplay that adds striking depth and vibrancy. His brushwork, echoing the influence of Impressionist masters, frees the painting from the rigidity of strict realism. Instead, Capicotto embraces the freedom to heighten and exaggerate certain hues, not to replicate the city precisely, but to awaken emotion in the viewer, allowing London to be experienced as both place and feeling.
