The artwork, “Mountain Landscape with Church,” created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1910, is an oil painting on cardboard, characterized by the Expressionism art movement. It measures 32.7 x 44.8 cm and falls within the landscape genre. This notable piece is currently housed at the Lenbachhaus in Munich, Germany.
In the artwork, Kandinsky employs bold, vivid colors and dynamic, abstract shapes to depict a mountainous landscape. Dominated by shades of yellow, blue, and green, the painting features a church nestled within the scene, distinguished by its structural form set against the fluid contours of the mountains. The interplay of colors and forms serves to evoke emotion and convey the artist’s subjective perspective of the landscape, a hallmark of the Expressionist movement.
