Autumn Landscape in the Forest of Fontainebleau is a 1860 watercolor by Auguste Allongé, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a serene forest landscape in autumn, with a mix of bare and leafy trees. The trees are scattered throughout the scene, with some standing tall and others leaning or bent. In the foreground, a few trees with sparse foliage are visible, while in the background, more trees with full foliage are seen. The artist's use of watercolor and graphite creates a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The colors used are muted, with shades of brown, green, and yellow dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of tranquility and calmness, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful forest scene.
