Leo Gestel's 1909 painting "Autumn Day" depicts a beautiful autumnal landscape that beautifully captures the mood and colours of the season. Gestel, known for his impressionist style, uses vibrant hues and dynamic brushstrokes to highlight the beauty of an autumn day.
In this painting, we see a landscape with a clear sky dominated by various shades of blue and yellow. The sky is painted with short, dotted brushstrokes, creating a lively and dynamic effect. The clouds are rendered in light shades of yellow and white, giving a sense of movement and light.
Below the sky is a dark horizon line, with trees and shrubs painted in muted colours that contrast sharply with the sky. The warm autumn colours of the leaves and the green of the grass add to the mood of the painting, while the abstract rendering of the trees and shrubs gives a sense of depth and dimension.
"Autumn Day" is a wonderful example of Gestel's ability to capture the essence of a season and take the viewer into the serene and nostalgic world of an autumn day.
