Autumn Day 1902

"Autumn Day" (1902) by Carl Wilhelmson (1866-1928) depicts a serene landscape scene. The painting, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Wilhelmson's signature style of naturalism, capturing the tranquility of a rural setting. The composition is dominated by a vast expanse of rolling hills, with a lone tree standing prominently in the foreground. Two cows graze peacefully in the middle ground, adding a touch of life to the otherwise tranquil scene. The muted palette, dominated by browns and greys, reinforces the sense of peace and quietude. The work is a testament to Wilhelmson's ability to convey the beauty of nature in a simple yet impactful way.
