The artwork, titled “The Rainbow, Hormandie,” was created by the artist Robert Henri in 1902. This landscape painting belongs to the American Realism art movement.
This picturesque landscape captures a serene and vibrant countryside scene under a dramatic sky. The focal point is a vivid rainbow arching high above quaint white houses and lush green surroundings. The dominant hues of green in the vegetation contrast brilliantly with the dark, brooding sky, emphasizing the clarity and vibrancy of the rainbow. In the foreground, a solitary figure wearing a hat adds a touch of human presence to the rural tranquility. The overall composition showcases the beauty and simplicity of pastoral life, encapsulated through Henri’s deft brushwork and keen eye for natural details.
