Untitled (Wooded Landscape) is a 1880 ink by Samuel Colman, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a wooded landscape with trees in the foreground and background. The trees have twisted trunks and branches that stretch upwards. The artist has used dark lines and shading to create depth and texture in the scene. In the foreground, the trees are more detailed, with visible knots and grooves in the trunks. The background is more muted, with the trees becoming less defined as they recede into the distance. The overall effect is one of a dense, atmospheric forest. The painting is an example of Impressionism and Realism, two art movements that emphasized capturing the natural world in a realistic way. To learn more about these movements, look up Impressionism.
Samuel Colman (March 4, 1832 – March 26, 1920) was an American painter, interior designer, and writer, probably best remembered for his paintings of the Hudson River.
