About this work

This painting shows a quiet hillside with a big, flat rock face in the background. In front of it, a tall, dark evergreen tree stands next to a small, simple building with a red door. The grass below is a mix of green and yellow, and the sky above is bright blue with a few wispy clouds. The artist used thick brushstrokes to make the rock look rough and textured, almost like you could reach out and touch it. The way the light hits the tree and rock creates shadows that add depth to the scene. If you like this style, look up *impasto* to see how artists use paint thickness to create texture.

Werner von Hausen

Werner von Hausen made copies so exact they fooled experts, but his metal reliefs tell a different story.
