About the Work

This painting by Georges de Feure captures a landscape in complete harmony with nature, bathed in deep, rich autumnal hues. The warm tones - oranges, browns and dark greens - form an almost dreamlike whole, immersing us in a forest that seems to have come straight out of a dream. With its curved lines and refined details, the painting shows the influences of Art Nouveau, with a strong Symbolist imprint.

The artist is not content to simply represent nature but transcends it to create a universe where each leaf and each branch has its own inner life. The work can be compared to the landscape kept at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where we find the same way of depicting nature. Both compositions share a similar atmosphere, with stylized vegetal forms blending into a fluid and almost unreal setting.
