You're welcome. I'm not too artsy anyway, Google Lens is a really big help in cases like this.

What's so appealing about them? Is it a unique style? Just because my grandmother has very similar paintings in her home, these are very very common compositions. At least back in the first half of the 20th century.

It's true they are very common, even in the gallery you are able to find similar paintings, but i find the first one truly fascinating because when i look at it it makes me feel at peace (maybe its the consequence of living in a busy city?). Other than that i really like the palette of colors and the fact it is gloomy, i prefer to imagine the night is about to come.
