Landscape at Saint-Charles, near Gisors, Sunset is a 1896 oil by Camille Pissarro, a Impressionism work, held at Clark Art Institute.
This painting depicts a serene landscape at sunset, with a warm yellow sky and trees in the foreground. The trees are tall and slender, with leaves that appear to be swaying gently in the breeze. In the background, there are rolling hills and a few buildings, but they are not clearly defined. The overall atmosphere of the painting is peaceful and calming, with the warm colors of the sunset creating a sense of tranquility. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy.
