Early 20th-century German School, Autumnal Landscape with Stream - Antique Oil Painting

1900 - 1920

Sold by Brave Fine Art

Description

This early 20th-century impressionistic landscape painting depicts a restful stream passing through a meadow.

Shimmering alongside damp grasses, silvery water reflects the gentle forms of Autumnal foliage. While the crunch of nearby leaves is offset by flickers of white. Beyond, the subtle verticals of a dense forest enclose the view with suggestions of depth provided in misty tints above.

The artist, evidently well-trained, probably worked directly from nature. Pitching up in this placid environment, inspired by its modest solemnity.

Held within a later frame.
