Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1920s.
Under low light and a falling sun, the heath glows with a sense of mysticism and poetry. Nature transformed - at its most lyrical and evocative. Roessingh thrived on these moments, when the land seemed to communicate through shifting tones. The subtle gradients, contorted trees and shimmering puddles. He didn’t seek to embellish a view, simply capture nature’s irresistible beauty at its finest hour.
As a poet and painter, he enlivened his landscapes with suggestion. They elicit a feeling - pose questions if you’re open to them.
While the Autumnal tones convey the passing of time, one’s twilight years.
Around this time, Roessingh often worked in Drenthe, Netherlands, where Van Gogh also found inspiration in 1883.
