Setting Sun is a 1879 by Camille Pissarro, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a setting sun. The sky is painted with warm, golden hues, while the trees and grass are rendered in softer, cooler tones. In the foreground, a few trees stand tall, their branches stretching towards the sky. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of spontaneity and movement.
