Pine-Trees is a 1905 oil by Jan Stanisławski, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a serene landscape, with pine trees standing tall in the foreground. The trees are rendered in dark shades of green and brown, with subtle variations in tone and texture that suggest the play of light and shadow. In the background, a soft, hazy sky stretches out, with gentle clouds drifting lazily across it. The overall effect is one of peacefulness and tranquility, inviting the viewer to step into the quiet world of the painting. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting adds depth and dimensionality to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye into the heart of the forest.
Jan Grzegorz Stanisławski (24 June 1860 – 6 January 1907) was a Polish modernist painter, art educator, and founder and member of various innovative art groups and literary societies.
