The brushstrokes, varied in direction and thickness, build up the different layers of the city and give the painting a beautiful sense of movement and vibrancy. The particularly successful treatment of light relies on a subtle distribution of brighter areas, guiding the eye through the composition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe right half of the painting is punctuated by factory chimneys, their smoke gradually blending into the atmosphere. They contribute to the slightly misty effect that envelops the horizon and gives the view a wonderful sense of depth.
