A Corner of a Meadow with Fountaingrass is a 1870 ink by Themistocles von Eckenbrecher, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a close-up of tall, wild grass with feathery tops swaying in the wind. The background is a soft blur of green and brown, like a meadow fading into trees. The colors are mostly earthy greens and yellows, with some darker shadows near the stems. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to capture the grass’s movement, almost like it’s alive. The paper looks textured, and the paint blends in places to mimic light filtering through leaves. Next, check out watercolor to see how artists mix paint and water for this dreamy effect.
Karl Paul Themistokles von Eckenbrecher (17 November 1842, Athens – 4 December 1921, Goslar) was a German landscape and marine painter, in the late Romantic style.
