More about this artwork
"Brough, Misty Afternoon" (1914) by Lucien Pissarro captures a serene English countryside enveloped in a soft, misty glow. This artwork exemplifies Pissarro's deft handling of light and his delicate texture work which together create a tranquil scene. The painting portrays rolling hills dotted with clusters of trees and patches of lush green fields, stretching into a village depicted in soft earth tones.Foreground trees, filled with rich greens, draw the eye towards the gently undulating landscape that recedes into layers of hills and patches of mist, softening the distance. The rooftops of a distant village peek through mid-ground foliage, grounding the ethereal quality of the mist with subtle hints of human habitation. The overall effect is a timeless, almost dreamlike quality, typical of Pissarro’s impressionistic style.This piece not only reflects a typical English landscape but also carries the personal touch of an artist deeply influenced by his French impressionist roots, yet at the same time, intimately connected with the English rural life.
