The artwork, “Landscape in Semmering,” was created by Koloman Moser in 1913 in Austria. This piece belongs to the Symbolism art movement and measures 37.8 x 50.5 cm. It is a landscape genre painting that intricately captures the essence of the Semmering region.
In “Landscape in Semmering,” Moser depicts a surreal and dreamlike scene with two tall, dark trees in the foreground framed against a subtle gradient of pastel hues in the background. The sun is setting, casting a halo of red, purple, and yellow light. The soft, flowing lines and varying textures evoke a sense of calm and contemplative atmosphere. The use of muted colors with bold accents highlights Moser’s symbolic intention to transcend mere representation and evoke a deeper emotional response. The overall composition is balanced and harmonious, reflecting the stylistic attributes of the Symbolism movement.
