“Autumn Landscape with Four Trees” is an oil-on-canvas artwork by Vincent van Gogh, painted in 1885 in Nuenen, Netherlands. The piece, belonging to the Realism art movement, measures 89 by 64 centimeters and is classified under the landscape genre. It is currently housed in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands.
The artwork presents a serene autumnal scene dominated by four trees standing in a field. The central two trees are adorned with richly colored foliage in various shades of brown, orange, and red, indicative of the autumn season. Their leaves appear to rustle gently under a light, cloud-streaked sky. To the right, a more sparsely leafed tree contrasts with its more barren branches, hinting at the encroaching winter. The distant horizon features softened outlines of additional trees, adding depth and perspective to the composition. The foreground displays a patch of earth intermingled with grassy elements, grounding the artwork in a natural setting. Through adept use of color and brushwork, van Gogh captures the tranquil yet transitional atmosphere of an autumn landscape.
