August Herman Olson Rolle
Landscape of Farm on Rolling Hills

c. 1900

About the Item

"Farm on Rolling Hills" by August Herman Olson Rolle captures the essence of a rural pasture through a harmonious blend of natural and pastoral elements. Rolle, an American painter known for his landscape artworks, uses his keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the simplicity of country life to bring this painting to life. The composition features a panoramic view of gently rolling hills, each fold and undulation highlighted with delicate brushstrokes. The green wildlife of the hills contrasts with the clear, open sky, which is painted in soft hues of blue and white. Nestled among the hills is a few quaint farm buildings, their rustic charm accentuated by the surrounding fields and distant trees. Rolle's use of light is particularly noteworthy; he captures the play of sunlight across the landscape, on each area of grass, creating a sense of depth and movement. The darker greens throughout the painting emphasize the dimension of the hills and trees and provide a rhythmic quality to the painting, guiding the viewer's eye through the scene. This masterful handling of light adds significant whimsical realism. This painting comes in excellent condition with frame and signed lower left!
