Corsican Landscape 1898

"Corsican Landscape" (1898) by Henri Matisse is a landscape painting that captures the beauty of the Corsican countryside. Matisse was known for his bold use of color and his ability to capture the essence of a scene. This painting is no exception, as Matisse employs vivid colors and expressive brushstrokes to depict a field with trees and a small house in the distance. The trees are painted in vibrant greens and yellows, and the house is a simple, yet striking shade of brown. The sky is a bright blue, creating a sense of openness and space. This work is characteristic of Matisse's early style, which was influenced by the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.
