This early 20th century oil painting captures the glow of a sunset spilling across a wooded river valley, executed in a style deeply influenced by Impressionism. The artist’s use of textured, expressive brushstrokes and a palette of golden yellows, soft oranges, and deep greens creates a vibrant interplay of light and atmosphere. The reflection of the fiery sky across the water pulls the viewer into the distance, giving the work both energy and tranquility. This approach, with visible strokes of color applied directly to the board, reflects the lasting influence of Impressionist techniques that carried into the 1920s and 1930s. The composition has a decorative strength that appeals to both collectors of antique landscapes and those seeking timeless design pieces. The painting is presented in its original gilt frame, richly ornamented with scrolling foliate motifs, which adds elegance and historic presence while complementing the warm tones of the artwork. Measuring 23 inches wide by 13.5 inches high, this painting is a versatile size for display in a living room, library, or study, where its glow and texture will add depth and atmosphere.
Condition:
The painting is in good vintage condition with stable paint layers and no visible losses. The surface shows natural toning consistent with its age, which adds warmth and dimension to the palette. The gilt frame is original and features expected wear, including rubbing and small areas of gesso loss at the corners and edges, but remains sturdy and visually striking. The back has been secured with later paper backing and tabs from a reframing, which provides additional stability and dust protection.
