1906
oil
From the collection of Israel Museum
Une clairière en Provence (Étude) is a 1906 oil by Henri Edmond Cross, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Israel Museum.
The painting depicts a serene forest scene, with a clearing in the center. The trees, with their twisted trunks and branches, are set against a backdrop of lush green foliage. The artist's use of bold brushstrokes and vivid colors creates a sense of depth and texture. In the foreground, the trees' gnarled roots and trunks are prominently displayed, while the leaves and branches above are rendered in soft, feathery strokes. The overall effect is one of tranquility and natural beauty. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Henri Edmond Cross, a French artist known for his landscapes and still lifes.
Henri-Edmond Cross (French: ; 20 May 1856 – 16 May 1910), born Henri-Edmond-Joseph Delacroix (), was a French painter and printmaker.
