Ravine Near Biskra is a 1895 oil by Victor Huguet, a Impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
Victor Pierre Huguet painted a rocky ravine with a winding path. Sunlight hits the stones in bright patches. Shadows fill deep crevices. He shows how light changes in North African light. The colors feel warm and dry. He painted this in 1895, near Biskra in Algeria. Look for the way he layers thick paint. It gives the rocks texture you can almost touch. Try this at the Art Institute of Chicago.
