Europese school (XX) - Landscape

This oil painting depicts a moody, atmospheric forest interior in deep earthy tones—browns, grays, muted greens, and subtle ochres—with tall, slender tree trunks rising sparsely through the composition, evoking late autumn or winter stillness. In the foreground, several large fallen logs and scattered branches lie across the damp, textured ground, some mossy or decaying, creating a sense of natural quiet and slow woodland cycles. Thick, expressive brushstrokes add tactile depth to the bark and undergrowth, while softer handling in the background suggests hazy distance and filtered light. The overall mood is somber yet serene, highlighting untamed nature’s beauty in decay.
