The artwork, titled “Edge of a Wood,” is a landscape painting by the renowned artist Vincent van Gogh. Completed in 1882 in The Hague, Netherlands, this piece is created using oil on canvas and belongs to the Realism art movement. It is currently housed in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands.
The artwork depicts a serene woodland scene. The foreground is punctuated by slender tree trunks, their verticality contrasting with the subtle undulations of the forest floor. The background showcases dense foliage with a soft, diffused light that hints at the sky beyond. The colors are muted earth tones, with subtle greens and browns, evoking the tranquil atmosphere of a forest’s edge. The realistic rendering of the trees and their surroundings captures the quiet beauty of nature as observed by Van Gogh. The brushwork suggests both the solidity of the trees and the ephemeral quality of the light, contributing to the immersive ambiance of the scene.
