1874
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
View of Hills near Mahabaleshwar is a 1874 by Colin Murray, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a quiet, misty hillside with soft, rounded mountains in the distance. The colors are mostly muted browns and grays, giving a calm, hazy feel. A dark shadow covers the right side, while the left side glows with a pale light. The artist focused on how light wraps around the hills, making them look solid yet dreamy. This style was common in the 1800s when artists tried to capture real scenes in a new way. Next, check out Realism to see how other artists painted everyday nature this way.
