Landscape of the Ile-de-France
This conversation is connected to Landscape of the Ile-de-France.
A view of the Île-de-France region constructed through fragmented blocks of color. In the immediate foreground, a textured green hedge and a red-roofed structure with a gate anchor the scene. The midground rises into a hill divided into geometric plots of green and mustard yellow, sparsely dotted with dark trees. Thick, impasto white clouds dominate the blue sky above. As a founding member of Les Nabis, Édouard Vuillard applied his post-impressionist aesthetic—typically reserved for intimate domestic interiors—to the outdoors, building the landscape through flat, patterned areas of unmixed pigment.
