1884
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Landscape is a 1884 by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet countryside scene in black and white. A lone tree stands on a hillside, its branches swirling like ink in water. Below it, a small house or shed sits half-hidden by bushes, while fields stretch out in the distance. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to suggest light and shadow—no smooth shading here. The whole scene feels rough and alive, like a quick sketch rather than a polished drawing. Next, check out Realism to see how artists like this one focused on everyday life.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
