Under the Fig 1922

"Under the Fig" (1922) by Othon Friesz is a landscape painting showcasing the artist's distinctive style, characterized by expressive brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the essence of the natural world. The painting depicts a verdant scene, likely in the south of France, where Friesz often sought inspiration. The fig tree, a recurring motif in his work, dominates the composition, its thick branches reaching towards the sky, while the structure in the background adds a touch of human presence to the otherwise idyllic setting. The painting is a testament to Friesz's mastery of color and form, and his ability to evoke a sense of serenity and tranquility.
