1790
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Farmhouse behind Trees is a 1790 by Christoph Nathe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a simple farmhouse hidden behind trees in this painting. The artist used a lot of green to show the natural setting. This makes the small farmhouse feel cozy and secluded, which was a common theme in 18th-century art.
