Cypress Trees and House 1919

"Cypress Trees and House" is an oil painting by Amedeo Modigliani from 1919. This work is a striking example of Modigliani's signature style, which is characterized by elongated figures, simplified forms, and a limited color palette. The painting depicts two cypress trees, which are a common motif in Modigliani's work, standing tall against the backdrop of a simple, yellow house. The painting's somber tones and the stark contrast between the trees and the house create a sense of tranquility and solitude. The work is currently held by the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
