As a painter from Flemish Brabant, Brusselmans had a strong connection with the Pajottenland region. He incorporated this regional landscape into decorative but solid compositions. In this painting, houses, fields and trees are simplified into blocks of colour that together form a rhythmic pattern. The sense of depth is limited; the landscape lies like a mosaic of planes in the image. Warm colours give the scene a calm, almost rural harmony. Yet everything remains solidly constructed, without charming details. Brusselmans transforms reality into painterly order. The Pajottenland thus becomes not a topographical image, but a modern interpretation of space and form.
