Afternoon Sun is a 1908 oil by Leo Gestel, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kröller-Müller Museum.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a winding path through a grassy field, flanked by trees and bushes. The sky above is a soft, pale yellow. The artist has used bold brushstrokes and vivid colors to bring the scene to life. The painting's style is reminiscent of the Post-Impressionist movement, with an emphasis on capturing the play of light and color. The use of oil paint and the artist's technique of applying thick layers of paint to the canvas add depth and texture to the work. For more information on the artist's technique, look up impasto.
