Piece description from the artist
Ardennes belges – oil on canvas 70 x 90 – This work depicts a picturesque village nestled in a mountainous landscape, capturing the essence of an autumnal twilight. The typically rustic stone houses stand in a harmonious tangle in the foreground, testifying to a robust traditional architecture. The roofs of these dwellings, in varying shades of grey and brown, seem to intertwine with the sloping terrain, perfectly integrating the town into its natural environment. In the background, a line of wooded hills looms, their silhouettes clearly outlined against a dramatic sky. The sky, moreover, plays a crucial role in this composition, with vibrant touches of blue and orange that suggest an almost supernatural light at sunset. This luminous contrast intensifies the timeless and serene atmosphere of the scene. With its golden foliage, a scarlet tree stands near the houses, bringing a note of liveliness to the landscape with its warm, autumnal hues. This detail draws the eye and invites the viewer to contemplate the ephemeral beauty of the season. Textural details, such as the aging wooden fence and the leaf-strewn ground, add a tactile dimension to the work, enriching the visual experience. Each brushstroke seems methodically placed to capture the silent poetry of a village suspended between day and night, between past and present. The artist here manages to skillfully combine realism and impressionism, offering a representation of rurality that is both faithful and dreamy.
