'Felsenmeer' is a 1912 unspecified by Egbert Schaap, held at Rijksmuseum.
You see thin trees growing between jagged gray rocks under a pale sky. The title means “sea of rocks,” but the trees look almost like hair growing from the stone. Someone painted this in 1912, when artists were leaving cities for wild places. The brushwork is loose—you can see every quick stroke. To see how other artists painted rocks and trees, look up impasto.
