Red Earth is a 1919 oil by Roger Fry, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a landscape with a tree in the foreground and a hill in the background. The tree is bare, with no leaves, and has a few branches that stretch out in different directions. The hill is covered in red earth, with some green bushes and trees scattered around. In the distance, there are some buildings, possibly houses or farms, and a mountain range rising up into the sky. The painting is done in a style that emphasizes bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. The red earth of the hill is particularly striking, and it gives the whole scene a sense of warmth and energy. The bare tree in the foreground adds a sense of simplicity and elegance to the painting. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of artist Roger Fry.
