The artwork, titled “Great Landscape with Trees (The Triangular Field),” was created by the artist Balthus in 1955. It belongs to the Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of landscape painting.
This painting features a serene rural landscape dominated by gently rolling fields and undulating hills. A prominent triangular field forms the focal point, from which the painting derives its title. Trees are scattered throughout the scene, their forms both organic and whimsical. The interplay between light and shadow enhances the depth and texture of the landscape, inviting the viewer to explore its intricacies. The muted yet rich palette of greens, browns, and yellows evokes a sense of timelessness and tranquility, characteristic of Balthus’s unique approach within the Expressionist movement.
