Le Dernière Heure 

Jose Manuel Capuletti painted this image in oil called Le Dernière Heure. The painting's subdued palette and stark composition immediately evoke a sense of melancholic solitude. A woman sits on a deserted street, her back turned, flanked by a bare bench and a discarded red cloth. The linear perspective draws the eye far into the distance, reinforcing a feeling of isolation. The artwork is composed of geometric city buildings and a set of organic vertical bare trees to create a surreal effect. The city street is organized with linear shadows that add to a feeling of geometric alienation and enhance a sense of existential ennui. The title, translating to 'The Last Hour,' adds a layer of contemplation, suggesting themes of mortality and the ephemerality of life. The red cloth introduces a sign of distress, contrasting with the grey tonality to further develop the sense of alienation. These signs invite ongoing interpretations about the human condition within an urban landscape.
