Dog in the Snow 1913

"Dog in the Snow" (1913) by Belgian Symbolist artist Léon Spilliaert, depicts a black dog standing on a pale, snow-covered ground. The simple composition and limited palette emphasize the dog’s solitary figure, creating a sense of melancholic isolation. Spilliaert's style is characterized by its use of elongated lines, expressive brushstrokes, and haunting imagery, reflecting the mood of Symbolism and the psychological themes prevalent in his work.
