The artwork, titled “Red House,” was created by the artist Lawren Harris in 1925. It is associated with the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is classified within the landscape genre.
“Red House” depicts a vibrant red two-story house standing out amidst a snowy, wintery landscape. The house is framed by large, leafless trees, their branches arching over the scene and covered with snow. The structure itself features distinctive, arched windows, which are painted a contrasting white, enhancing its architectural details. The clear, blue sky and the lightly shaded background provide a serene atmosphere to the landscape. The snow that blankets the ground and the trees reflects the light, adding a crisp, clean texture to the artwork. The painting exudes tranquility and an appreciation for natural and architectural beauty in the winter season.
