The pool of blood is a 1898 oil by William Degouve de Nuncques, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a striking focal point. A small, dark pool of blood stands out in the foreground, surrounded by lush greenery and towering trees that stretch towards the sky. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a cloudy sky, which adds depth and texture to the overall composition. Upon closer inspection, the artist's use of color and light creates a sense of contrast between the vibrant greens and the deep reds of the blood. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, adding an emotional intensity to the scene.
