Landschap in de Kempen is a 1872 oil by Paul Mathieu, a Impressionism work, held at Groeningemuseum.
The painting depicts a landscape with a field, a small stream, and a few buildings in the distance. The scene is set under a cloudy sky, with the sun casting a warm glow on the landscape. The colors used are muted, with shades of brown, green, and gray dominating the palette. In the foreground, the field is depicted in detail, with the texture of the grass and the earth visible. The small stream runs through the center of the painting, adding a sense of movement to the otherwise static scene. The buildings in the distance are rendered in a more impressionistic style, with soft brushstrokes and blurred edges. The overall effect of the painting is one of serenity and tranquility, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world depicted.
