About this work

You see a rolling green hill dotted with tiny white houses under a soft blue sky. The brushstrokes are thick and loose, almost like the paint was slapped on with a palette knife. It gives the scene a lively, rough texture—like the land itself is breathing. No one knows exactly when this was made, so the mystery adds to its charm. To see how other artists built landscapes with bold strokes, look up the technique impasto.
