“Scenery from the Riviera,” created by Lili Elbe, is a landscape artwork that belongs to the art movement known as Post-Impressionism. The painting depicts a coastal scene that is characteristic of the Riviera region.
In the artwork, lush vegetation with varying shades of green is prominently featured in the foreground, punctuated by large leafy plants and trees. A rocky outcrop covered with greenery leads the eye towards the serene and expansive body of water in the mid-ground, which reflects delicate hues of blue and green. The background reveals soft, hilly islands and mountainous formations, bathed in light pastel colors, creating a harmonious and tranquil atmosphere. The use of loose brushstrokes and the blending of colors exemplify the Post-Impressionist style, capturing the scenic beauty and serene ambiance of the coastal landscape.
