Paysage du Palatinat
1909
Max Slevogt, one of Germany’s top Impressionists, decided the sky was the real star of this show, letting it swallow up three-quarters of the canvas in a wash of pale blues and whites. Painted in 1909, this view of the Palatinate region features tiny farmers and a white horse that look almost insignificant against the vast, hazy atmosphere. The loose, energetic brushstrokes capture the shimmering heat of a summer day, prioritizing the feeling of the moment over photographic detail.
