The tree in early spring (The Gaza field in Karlovac) en plein air 1995

"The tree in early spring (The Gaza field in Karlovac) en plein air" is a 1995 oil painting by Croatian artist Alfred Freddy Krupa, born in 1971. Depicting a solitary tree against a vast, pale sky, the artwork exemplifies Krupa's signature style of en plein air landscape painting. The painting's title and subject matter suggest a sense of calm and serenity, as seen in the tranquil field and the lone tree, which stands in stark contrast to the vast expanse of the sky. The painting's muted color palette, dominated by shades of white, blue, and brown, further reinforces this sense of tranquility. The work showcases Krupa's talent for capturing the subtle beauty of nature in its most minimalist form.
