About this work
Europe changed quickly after 1850: technical progress accelerated, cities grew, nature was restricted. The grand and mighty imagined landscape went out of fashion and artists preferred to paint ‘real’ nature. That is why the light in this painting is more realistic than in the works in the other display cases. The landscape is in shadow, the light just touches the tops of the trees and hardly reaches the ground.
