Mountains in Corsica
1912
Step into a sun-drenched afternoon in Corsica with Ernst Schiess! Painted in 1912, this scene uses tall, spindly trees to frame a dusty path that winds toward soft, pinkish mountains. The artist uses the loose, choppy brushstrokes of Post-Impressionism to make the leaves look like they are trembling in a gentle breeze. It’s a perfect snapshot of Mediterranean light, capturing the quiet isolation of the island landscape.
