The artwork, titled “Our Valley”, was created by Victor Hugo in 1871. It belongs to the Symbolism art movement and is categorized under the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a valley scene rendered with flowing, almost abstract lines and forms. The colors used are predominantly earth tones, with shades of brown and beige. These hues blend together in sweeping gestures to create an impression of the natural landscape, evoking a sense of movement and dynamism. The style is suggestive and atmospheric, embodying the Symbolist ethos of capturing emotional and mystical states rather than strictly realistic depictions.
