Argentinean Painting

This is an Argentinean original watercolor of a neighborhood in Buenos Aires called La Boca. The most famous street, and the title of this painting, is El Caminito.

The neighborhood is where the dance tango originated. It is located on the southeastern edge of the city, along Río de la Plata, right at the mouth of the Riachuelo. Italian immigrants who were attracted by the city's port activity settled in this area. During the last decades of the nineteenth century, they built their houses of wood and zinc and painted them with the colors left over from the painting the ships. This was the source of its colorful and particular appearance that still can be seen today.
