The artwork titled “Idyllic Landscape” was created by Maurice Prendergast around 1914 to 1915. This piece, an oil painting on canvas, belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and measures 39.37 x 31.75 cm. It falls within the landscape genre and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene and vibrant outdoor scene. The composition features several figures and a horse, all rendered in Prendergast’s distinctive Post-Impressionist style. In the foreground, a woman reclines comfortably on the grass, accompanied by a small dog. Nearby, another figure, dressed in black, rides a horse, adding a dynamic element to the otherwise tranquil scene. A woman wearing a hat stands to the right, seemingly lost in her surroundings. The background showcases trees and a glimpse of water, skillfully capturing the essence of an idyllic landscape. The use of bold brushstrokes and a rich palette of colors evoke a sense of movement and harmony, characteristic of Prendergast’s work.
