Landscape with Hills
1850
unspecified
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This painting shows rolling hills covered in dry grass and shrubs. A winding path cuts through the middle, leading toward distant mountains. The sky is pale and hazy, blending into the soft shapes below. The brushstrokes are loose and sketchy, almost like a quick sketch. The colors are muted, mostly grays and browns, giving it a quiet, earthy feel. Look up *impasto* next to see how thick paint can change a painting’s texture.
