"Près Traverse de Lévis" by Francesco Iacurto, painted in 1964, depicts an urban street scene near the Lévis ferry crossing, which is a ferry route connecting Quebec City and Lévis in Quebec, Canada.

In this painting, Iacurto captures the everyday life and architecture of the area. The buildings are rendered with a strong sense of volume and mass, using a palette of muted colors that reflect the urban environment. The facades show off the architectural details and textures, with windows, awnings, and the play of light and shadow giving them character.

The reflection of the buildings in the wet street suggests recent rain, adding a reflective quality to the surface and enhancing the painting's overall mood. The presence of pedestrians adds a human element, suggesting the hustle and bustle of daily life.

The artist's brushwork is visible and dynamic, with thick impasto strokes that add depth and energy to the scene. The sky, with hints of blue peeking through the gray, gives a sense of the weather clearing up, possibly after a rain shower.

Iacurto's work is known for its vibrant depiction of Quebec landscapes and cityscapes, and "Près Traverse de Lévis" is a fine example of his ability to convey the spirit of a place through his art. The painting is a snapshot of mid-20th-century life in this Canadian locale, reflecting the atmosphere and character of its urban landscape.
