1891
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Dominant colour
Ehrenbreitstein to Coblenz, No. 1 is a 1891 by Frank Short, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a thin, pale strip of land and sky against a dark background. The top edge is a light brown, almost like a faded photograph. Below it, everything is black, with no details or shapes to see. The light area looks like a distant view of hills or a riverbank, but it’s so simple it almost feels like a sketch. The contrast between the light and dark makes it stand out. If you like this style, try looking up Impressionism.
Sir Francis Job Short PPRE (19 June 1857 – 22 April 1945) was a British printmaker and teacher of printmaking.
