The blind house is a 1896 unspecified by William Degouve de Nuncques, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kröller-Müller Museum.
The painting depicts a large, pink house with many windows, set against a dark background. The house is surrounded by trees and bushes, and the overall atmosphere is one of mystery and intrigue. In the foreground, a large tree stands out, its branches stretching up towards the sky. The house itself is imposing, with a sense of grandeur and elegance. The use of color is striking, with the pink of the house standing out against the darker tones of the background. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to step into the world of the painting. For more on this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
