About the piece

Painted in 1914 by Flemish Expressionist Constant Permeke, this evocative landscape captures the rugged beauty of the dunes at twilight. The composition is defined by thick, gestural brushstrokes and a muted, earthy palette, punctuated by the striking golden reflection of the sun or moon over the distant sea. The work demonstrates Permeke's mastery in translating the weight and atmosphere of the natural world into a modern, tactile surface.
