Landscape is a 1742 unspecified by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows rolling hills covered in mist, with a few small buildings tucked into the valleys. A lone boat drifts on a river, and tiny figures walk along paths. The sky is pale, with just a hint of a moon and birds flying high. The artist used soft, smudgy brushstrokes to blur distances, making far-away hills look hazy. This trick makes the scene feel quiet and dreamy. Look up sfumato next to see how artists like this one blend colors smoothly.
