1889
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Haikon huvila meren puolelta is a 1889 unspecified by Albert Edelfelt, a Realism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a quiet, leafy scene with a grassy path leading to a small white house. Tall trees frame the view, their dark green leaves casting shadows on the ground. The sky is pale, and a body of water runs along the right side, reflecting the greens and blues around it. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on the trees and grass, giving the scene a lively feel. The light shifts across the path, making some areas brighter than others. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Albert Gustaf Aristides Edelfelt (21 July 1854 – 18 August 1905) was a Finnish painter noted for his naturalistic style and Realist approach to art.
