This mountain range inspires the painter for no less than eighty of his paintings. An obsession did you say? As an outdoor painter, he appreciates landscapes with a thousand colors and scents.
The light is laid in impasto, like the ocher yellow of the stones and the vivid green of the pines, contrasting with the blue of the sky. He does not faithfully paint reality as he sees it but wishes to create his own universe, where the slightly geometric shapes of the landscape portend the Cubist movement.
Instead of settling, it evaporates, becomes fluid. They were inspired by the shimmering, vivid colors of Southern France.
Here, the painter rests, alongside Georges Braque , Henri Matisse , and Raoul Duffy , also inspired by the particular luminosity of this geographical area. His chromatic research led him to paint works dotted with red, yellow, orange, and sometimes blue, hues. Using both hot and cold colors, the composition is expertly balanced.
The depiction represents a village scene, made up of trees, houses, and various small figures. The painter carefully made the image easier to read by emphasizing the outlines of the various elements of the composition.
At the very end of the 19th century, Henri Rousseau was one of the dominant figures of the Naive movement Characterized by a voluntary ignorance of the perspective and the reality of the dimensions, the current evokes a childish and very graphic universe. In this painting, Douanier Rousseau takes us to the heart of a lush jungle, where various animal species lions, elephants, birds hide. Central of the vegetation, a woman sits in the foreground listening to the melody played by a flute charmer.
Her pose is enigmatic and erotic, making her a symbol of desire. Many variations of green — no less than 20 — contrast with the vivid colors of the giant lotuses surrounding Yadwiga. The harmony of colors makes this decor a harmonious and dreamlike landscape, inviting to travel. The works painted by Edward Hopper have a captivating side, undoubtedly linked to their mystery. This landscape, in particular, gives rise to contradictory interpretations.
While the painting is bathed in a reassuring light, a feeling of anguish is inevitable in the face of this abandoned, nearly deserted scene. The line between civilization and nature is difficult to establish. Behind this postcard setting, there seems to be a sort of hidden face, conducive to anxiety, and boredom.
The artist is known for his fascination with the vertical architecture of lighthouses. Real landmarks in the landscape, lighthouses are also references to loneliness and storms. The absence of the sea locks the scene even further into a bubble, almost giving a sense of claustrophobia!
It is a habit for Hopper to choose countryside landscapes, although his best-known works feature thinking figures in bars in glamorous America. The painter Nicolas de Stael appropriated landscape painting in a very different way from the artists studied until then.
His geometric compositions, thick impasto, and range of bright colors make his work an eminently abstract creation. Later in his career, the painter offers a painting that reconnects a little more with reality, and as a result, deeply questions the opposition between abstraction and figuration.
A meticulous painter, he gave birth to some of his greatest landscape paintings after careful studies in pencil and ink. Granting himself a lot of freedom when it comes to the representation of reality, he produced several works highlighting the landscapes of Sicily, with which he fell in love during his trip to Italy in He never offered a landscape painting identical to that of the previous one.
Light, like the material or the shapes chosen, are systematically different. You might be forgiven for considering this a heat map due to the predominance of red and blue hues in the painting, but it is only a depiction of the clear weather. In the background are some clouds while some rivulets of snow trace various paths down the peak.
The foreground also features some small trees, a sublime capture of as many features of the popular Mount Fuji as possible. Interestingly, this work, which has become quite popular, was done as an aside just so he could have something to present at an exhibition. The major project he was working on at the time was a collection of five paintings which were commenced at the behest of one of the regular buyers of his works.
By a twist of fate, this seeming afterthought is now a hallmark painting for him. It depicts the Connecticut River valley with trees and vegetation in the foreground, a hilly terrain in the background, and gray overcast skies that had still not cleared from the effects of a raging thunderstorm.
At first glance, one sees stormy seas and the passengers of a ship on it struggling to stay afloat and alive. At the same time, a rising sun can be seen in the back ground just peaking over the distant mountains which can be taken as a sign of hope and positivity. Petersburg does just that. The sky is painted in a cascade of colors that shows the effect of the fading sun with faint replications in the river and a slightly dark overtone capturing the period just before nightfall.
In between the hilly background and the sky, the disappearance of the sun can be identified with its dying rays spilling out onto the canvas. The absence of any human or animal figure makes it even more scenic especially for nature enthusiasts.

It shows rays of the sun lighting up the background from in between El Capitan rock and Sentinel Rock with Middle Cathedral rock just showing up in the background.
Merced River can be seen with beautiful trees around its banks and some vegetation in the surrounding environment. And this work is one of his most remarkable for various reasons; the most important of which is that it is said to have birthed the impressionist movement. This is a form of art expression and painting that projects the impressions created by the scene rather than trying to replicate the scene itself unlike the two previous paintings considered.
This work is a depiction of a woody trail beside a river that runs between the villages of Veneux and By with its surrounding trees and vegetation as well.
Another interesting thing about this painting is that the village that can be seen far back in the background is known as Champagne.
Sadly, the artist was not really recognized in his lifetime and was said to have lived in penury, an unfortunate circumstance for such a talented painter. This eponymous depiction of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, a mountain that is cited in the South of France is done using a combination of geometry and colors to highlight various features like depth and distance.
It is a part of a collection of landscape oil paintings by the creative painter who is thought to have inspired some big names in the world of art like Pablo Picasso. Although the work has in recent times being ascribed only to Ivan Shishkin, it is believed that Konstantin Savitsky actually did the painting of the bears that are shown on the tree trunks.
Unlike the impressionist works that have been considered hitherto, this is a realist artwork, showing the trees, their leaves, and the surrounding foliage in detail. Although the sun is not visible, the reflection of its light can be clearly seen at the top of the painting while a hazy fog is clearly visible below the canopy of trees.
This work is a beautiful depiction of nature at one of its most remarkable times of the day- the morning. Wheatfield with Crows is beautiful painting with a strong appeal and what is considered by many critics as a powerful message. The post-impressionist work is part of a series of paintings by the art genius involving wheat fields. Regardless of which interpretation is given to it there are so many the fact remains that Wheat field with Crows is an important work of art that will continue to remain relevant through the ages.

He began working doing commissions as well as works of his own after that. He painted landscapes often around his home, Dedham Vale, which is now referred to as Constable Country.
He painted these works with great affection and care, as he was highly attached to the area where he spent his boyhood. He is considered to have revolutionized the art of landscapes, though he was not financially successful during his life. More of his works were sold in France than in England at the time.

To please his father, he started law school, but he disliked studying the law and was finally allowed to go to Paris to study painting. He suffered from mood swings and depression and became severely depressed when he found that many of his classmates where more technically proficient as he.
