Noon Landscape 1921

"Noon Landscape" (1921) by Theo van Rysselberghe, a Belgian painter known for his contribution to the Neo-Impressionist movement, depicts a verdant landscape under the midday sun. The painting is composed of thick brushstrokes, characteristic of the divisionist technique favored by the Neo-Impressionists, which creates a shimmering effect, particularly visible in the leaves of the trees. The scene features a glimpse of a building, partially obscured by the lush foliage, suggesting a rural setting. The colors, dominated by warm yellows and greens, create a sense of tranquil warmth, evocative of a sunny afternoon.
