Ferdinand Villuis
Red Landscape with trees, Original Gouache on Paper, Impressionist style

1940 c.

About the Item

*Dimensions include the frame This French artwork from around 1940 exhibits a vivid, expressive style, reminiscent of Vincent van Gogh's post-Impressionist works. The robust, swirling brushstrokes and bold use of color convey a dynamic energy that breathes life into the pastoral scene, much like van Gogh's iconic "Starry Night" and his numerous landscapes. The trees are rendered with thick, curved lines that impart movement, while the houses in the background, with their gentle, warm hues, suggest a humble tranquility. Although the painting shares the Impressionists' interest in natural light and outdoor scenes, it diverges in its more emotional, less fleeting depiction of the landscape. The artist's choice of a more intense palette and the almost tactile texture of the paint application point to a personal interpretation of the scene that moves beyond the Impressionists' more observational approach. This piece, straddling the line between Impressionism and Expressionism, captures the essence of a moment with a passionate intensity.
