De brandgang 1944

"De brandgang" (The Firebreak), a 1944 work by Belgian Symbolist painter Léon Spilliaert, depicts a desolate forest path. The artist's signature use of muted tones creates a sense of unease and loneliness. The rows of bare trees lining the path converge in the distance, leaving the viewer with a feeling of claustrophobia and isolation. The artwork captures the artist's signature style, characterized by stark lines and a melancholic atmosphere.
