Genre
Forest & Woodland
The forest is the landscape that closes over you. Its painters traded the open horizon for enclosure: the cathedral of trunks, the broken light, the path that vanishes into shadow, making the wood a place of both sanctuary and unease where the eye cannot see all the way through.
