About Three Fields and a Mountain

“Three Fields and a Mountain,” created by Eyvind Earle in 1989 in the United States, is a remarkable example of Magic Realism within the landscape genre. The artwork portrays a complex interplay of light and shadow across rolling fields and undulating mountains, encapsulating a sense of serene beauty and mystique.

The artwork vividly captures three expansive fields in the foreground, each adorned with meticulously detailed vegetation and interspersed with curvilinear paths that guide the viewer’s eye through the scene. The fields are characterized by lush green hues, contrasting with patches of lighter tones where sunlight accentuates the natural contours. The middle ground transitions into a series of densely packed, rounded tree clusters rendered in deep blues and greens, creating a textured tapestry of foliage. In the background, the composition rises to reveal a majestic mountain range, bathed in various shades of blue that evoke a sense of depth and distance. The mountain peaks, cloaked in shadow, suggest an early or late time of day, enhancing the enigmatic quality of the landscape. The overall composition is harmoniously balanced, drawing the observer into a tranquil yet otherworldly vista.
