The artwork, titled “The Bois de Boulogne with People Walking,” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1886 in Paris, France. This oil on canvas piece is a part of the Post-Impressionism movement and falls under the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts a serene, autumnal scene in the Bois de Boulogne, a large public park in Paris. Van Gogh employs vibrant, warm hues of orange, red, and brown, illustrating the foliage with a lively and dynamic texture typical of his style. The people walking through the park are dressed in period attire and engaged in various leisurely activities, blending harmoniously into the landscape. The sky above features soft, pastel blues and whites, adding depth and contrast to the earthy tones below. The overall composition evokes a peaceful, idyllic atmosphere, capturing a moment of everyday life in the late 19th century.
