About Village Landscape

“Village Landscape,” created by Matthew Smith in 1916, is a Post-Impressionist landscape artwork.

The artwork depicts a quaint village scene. The composition includes modest buildings with reddish and gray rooftops, hinting at a serene, possibly rural setting. A meandering dirt path captures the viewer’s attention, guiding them through the painting. Flanking the path, lush, green foliage and trees provide a stark contrast against the lighter hues of the buildings and ground. The use of broad, swift brushstrokes reflects the influence of Post-Impressionism, emphasizing an emotional and evocative representation of the landscape rather than precise realism.
