About Pine House (Rooms for Rent)

“**Pine House (Rooms for Rent)**,” completed in 1994 by artist Peter Doig, is a cityscape painting manifesting the Magic Realism art movement. The artwork depicts a residential scene showcasing a house surrounded by trees and foliage, invoking a sense of serene mystery and subtle surrealism.

The structure, reminiscent of an old, possibly abandoned house, stands prominently in the middle surrounded by sparse vegetation suggesting late autumn or early winter. The trees, some bare and others with scant leaves, frame the house, while the road in the foreground enhances the cityscape theme. The colors used in the artwork invoke a dreamlike quality, as if the scene straddles the boundary between reality and imagination. The rustic charm and slightly eerie ambiance of the house invite viewers to ponder the stories that its rooms might hold.
