The Path in the Bois De Boulogne 1903

"The Path in the Bois de Boulogne" is a 1903 painting by Henri Matisse, depicting a winding path through a wooded area. The painting showcases Matisse's early Fauvist style, evident in the bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The path is a central element of the composition, leading the viewer's eye through the scene and highlighting the lush vegetation. The painting embodies the Fauvist movement's emphasis on color and subjective expression, contrasting sharply with the Impressionist emphasis on naturalism.
