Un arbre is a 1906 oil by Henri Edmond Cross, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting features a serene landscape with a prominent tree in the foreground, its branches stretching towards the left side of the canvas. The tree's trunk is rooted on a hillside, which is depicted in warm, earthy tones. In the background, a body of water stretches out, meeting the horizon at a gentle curve. The sky above is a soft blend of blues and whites. The artist's use of color is notable, with the warm tones of the hillside contrasting with the cool blues of the water and sky. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured quality. To learn more about the artist's technique and style, look up Henri Edmond Cross.
