From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Autumn is a 1868 unspecified by Adolphe Joseph Thomas Monticelli, a French Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a forest scene with thick, dark trees in the middle. The leaves are mostly green but have patches of yellow and brown, suggesting fall. In the distance, two small figures walk along a path, almost hidden by the trees. The sky above is light and patchy, with hints of blue and white. The brushstrokes are rough and uneven, giving the painting a textured look. This style makes the scene feel alive and a little messy, like you’re seeing it through a quick glance. This painting uses a technique called impasto.
Adolphe Joseph Thomas Monticelli (October 14, 1824 – June 29, 1886) was a French painter of the generation preceding the Impressionists.
