Duingezicht is a 1898 oil by Johannes Josephus Aarts, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kröller-Müller Museum.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a vast field of green and brown hues, dotted with trees on the left side. The sky above is a soft blend of blue and pink, with subtle brushstrokes that add texture to the scene. A closer look reveals the artist's use of impasto, a technique where paint is applied thickly to create a raised surface. This adds depth and dimension to the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the textures and colors. If you're interested in exploring more works that use impasto, consider looking into the technique itself to discover how artists have utilized it throughout history.
Johannes Josephus Aarts (18 August 1871 – 19 October 1934) was a Dutch painter, illustrator, lithographer, engraver, etcher, writer, academic teacher and director, lecturer, sculptor and book-cover designer.
