Grove of Trees

Claude Lorrain

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a landscape from a slightly elevated angle, showing trees and an open expanse in the distance. The loose and fluid brushstrokes create an impressionistic style with earthy tones dominating the color palette. The trees in the foreground lead the eye towards the open space hinting at land stretching beyond.
