Dominant colour
Ranskan Rivieralta is a 1913 by Venny Soldan-Brofeldt, held at Järvenpää Art Museum.
The painting depicts a serene scene of a tree standing alone on a cliff overlooking the sea. The tree's branches stretch out towards the water, while its trunk stands tall against the backdrop of a cloudy sky. The colors used are muted, with shades of blue and gray dominating the palette. In the distance, a small island can be seen, adding depth to the composition. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of tranquility and solitude. This painting reminds me of the work of Venny Soldan-Brofeldt, a Finnish artist known for his landscapes and seascapes.
Wendla Irene Soldan-Brofeldt, known as Venny (2 November 1863, Helsinki – 10 October 1945, Lohja) was a Finnish painter, illustrator, graphic artist, wood sculptor and jewelry designer.
