About Autumn Sea VII

Autumn Sea Vii is a painting that was painted in 1910 by Emil Nolde. Nolde, born in 1867, was a German Expressionist Painter and printmaker who was associated with the post-impressionists and German expressionist school. The painting was created using oil on canvas, with the approximate size measuring 60 x 70cm. It is currently held in a private collection.

The painting is in muted tones and has a very melancholic atmosphere to it. Nolde draws our eye to the cliff on which two people stand out amongst the sea and sky; he captures an expanse of grey-blue water that leads to a quiet harbour below us. The sun is setting behind rocks and clouds roll across their path at the horizon line. The limited palette of mostly blues and greys are reminiscent of light breaking through clouds after rain – a beautifully melancholic atmosphere depicted across this stunning piece of art.

Autumn Sea Vii is one of Emil Noldeā€™s notable works from 1910, along with other masterpieces such as The Soyer Brothers from 1973 by Alice Neel. It serves as an example of his talent as an artist, highlighting his skillful use of color and rendering emotion with painterly realism. This captivating piece holds its place within art history, offering up its unique message to each individual viewer that encounters it.
