The artwork titled “Saint Anton (Flat Light)” was created by artist Peter Doig in 1996. It belongs to the Magic Realism movement and is categorized under the landscape genre.
In the artwork, an expansive, almost ethereal snowy mountainside is depicted with minimalistic treatment, emphasizing the vastness and solitude of the landscape. The slopes are dotted sparsely with evergreen trees, and the subtle, almost pastel-like coloring creates a dreamlike atmosphere that epitomizes the Magic Realism movement. The high perspective and soft light evoke a sense of calmness and introspection, inviting the viewer to lose oneself in the serene yet mysterious environment. Ski lifts and small human figures are diminutive against the grandeur of the mountain, highlighting the enormity and imposing nature of the terrain.
