Wooded Landscape is a 1815 oil by Peter De Wint, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting is a serene wooded landscape, with a dirt path winding through the trees. The path is lined with dense foliage, and the trees are depicted in various shades of green, with some leaves appearing to be in the process of changing colors. In the foreground, the path is well-defined, with visible texture and depth. The trees surrounding the path are tall and slender, with some branches stretching out towards the viewer. The overall effect of the painting is one of tranquility and peacefulness, inviting the viewer to step into the serene world depicted.
