1884
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Windy Morning - Schleissheim is a 1884 by Sion Longley Wenban, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet countryside scene with a winding river in the foreground. Small houses with simple roofs line the banks, surrounded by trees and bushes. The sky above is partly cloudy, with soft strokes suggesting wind. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture light and movement—notice how the trees bend slightly, as if caught in a breeze. This style was common in the late 1800s. Next, check out Impressionism to see how artists like this one played with light and atmosphere.
Sion Longley Wenban was an American landscape painter and graphic artist who emigrated to Germany.
