The inspiration for this painting was in the beauty of everyday scenes in Italy,  particularly here, the play of light and shadow on the aged architecture.

The desire to capture the atmosphere and warmth of a narrow street in Florence  is a fairly common theme among artists who paint en plein air. The  texture of the stone walls, the strong contrast of the yellow building against the deep shadows, and the everyday detail of a parked car all serve as inspiration for capturing a fleeting, quiet moment of Italian life.
