From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Landscape, Trees by a Pond is a 1915 watercolor by Vanessa Bell, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Vanessa Bell painted *Landscape, Trees by a Pond* around 1915. It’s a watercolour, small and full of bright colors. The brushstrokes look flat and straight, almost like tiles. The colors pop because Bell loved bold shades. The pond she painted is probably at Charleston Farmhouse in Sussex. She lived there on and off for years.

This watercolour by Vanessa Bell, created in 1915, reflects the influence of Paul Cézanne’s landscapes through its use of unmodulated colour fields and parallel brushwork, approaching abstraction. The painting employs a vivid colour scheme characteristic of Bell’s style. The scene likely depicts the pond at Charleston Farmhouse in Sussex, where the artist resided intermittently from 1916 to 1961.
