Surrealist Cloudscape Painting with Cathedral Towers, by Sylvain Lanci

This remarkable work is an original hand-painted artwork, distinguished by its exceptional detail, atmospheric depth, and luminous execution. The composition presents a dramatic surrealist landscape in which monumental cathedral towers emerge through a vast, billowing cloudscape, illuminated by an ethereal light that draws the eye inward along a winding stone path.

The painting is executed with finely layered paint, creating subtle surface texture and tonal variation throughout the clouds, architecture, and foreground terrain. Rather than heavy impasto, the artist employs controlled layering and modulation to achieve depth, softness, and a striking sense of scale. The surface shows natural painterly variation consistent with an original work and should not be confused with a print, reproduction, lithograph, or giclée.

The sky is particularly masterful, with complex cloud formations rendered in nuanced shades of blue, white, and silver, producing a sense of movement and quiet drama. Architectural elements rise from the mist with crisp precision, contrasting beautifully against the organic forms of the surrounding landscape. The overall effect is immersive, contemplative, and visually powerful.

This painting is offered framed and ready to install, making it a compelling statement piece for both residential and professional interiors. Ideal for collectors of surrealist, visionary, or symbolic art, as well as interior designers seeking a dramatic focal work with genuine artistic presence.

About the Artist:

Sylvian Lanci is a French painter born in 1932. He lives in Burgundy in the area of Cluny. Soon turning 80, the artist continues to paint tiressly.

Known for his unclassifiable work, his oil paintings are full of poetry and mystery. His discovery of surrealism representatives Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte in particular, liberated his creative power. The artist uses the power of dreams and of imagination to replace reality. Between naive art and mystical creations the artist, just like the old masters, put a lot of attention to detail in his representations of tormented skies or raging waves. See less
