“Landscape with two small trees” is an oil painting on canvas by the renowned artist Ferdinand Hodler, created circa 1893. Measuring 45.5 x 32.5 cm, the artwork exemplifies the Post-Impressionism movement and falls within the landscape genre.
The painting captures a serene pastoral scene featuring two small trees prominently positioned in the foreground. One tree stands to the left, slender and upright, while the other stands more centrally, its foliage displaying a delicate interplay of light and shadow. The scene extends back to gently rolling hills, dotted with additional trees and vegetation, all beneath a sky painted in soft, ethereal tones. The play of light and the textural brushstrokes contribute to the tranquil and contemplative atmosphere of the landscape. The careful composition and harmonious color palette reflect Hodler’s mastery in conveying the beauty and calm of the natural world.
