Hilly Landscape is a 1888 oil by Alphonse Legros, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a serene hilly landscape, with rolling hills and trees set against a cloudy sky. The scene is rendered in muted tones, with shades of green, brown, and grey dominating the palette. In the foreground, a fence runs along the bottom edge of the canvas, separating the viewer from the landscape. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured quality. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, creating a sense of atmosphere and mood. For more information on the artist's techniques, look up chiaroscuro.
