“The Flooded Village,” painted by Maurice de Vlaminck in 1910, is an evocative oil-on-canvas artwork measuring 65.2 by 50 centimeters. Belonging to the Post-Impressionism art movement, this cityscape is currently in a private collection. The artwork depicts a village under the distress of floodwaters, emphasizing vivid brushstrokes and vibrant color contrasts typical of Post-Impressionist techniques. Tall trees and quaint structures loom over the reflective water, demonstrating de Vlaminck’s mastery in capturing the essence of both the village and the encompassing nature. The juxtaposition of colors and forms immerses the viewer in the serene yet somber atmosphere of the scene.
