Fiesole 1902

"Fiesole" is a 1902 oil painting by Finnish artist Pekka Halonen. The painting depicts a landscape scene with a focus on a prominent cypress tree in the foreground. The scene is set in Fiesole, Italy, where Halonen travelled extensively in the early 1900s. This painting highlights Halonen's interest in capturing the atmosphere and light of the Italian landscape. The simplified forms, bold brushstrokes, and muted color palette are characteristic of his mature style, often referred to as "national romanticism."
