European school (XIX) - Forest

Oil on canvas depicting a natural landscape in a classical style, with a wooded environment and a tranquil watercourse in the foreground. The composition stands out for its depth and for the atmospheric treatment of light, which guides the eye toward a luminous clearing in the background, creating a sense of calm and balance.

The work presents a sober and harmonious chromatic palette, dominated by deep greens, ochres, and browns, characteristic of the European landscape painting tradition inspired by Romanticism. The brushwork is loose and well integrated, lending naturalness to the vegetation and delicacy to the reflections on the water.

The painting is presented in an antique gold frame, richly ornamented with relief botanical motifs, which notably enhances the decorative character and the presence of the work.
