About the piece
Painted in 1918 by Sir Alfred Munnings, this dynamic composition captures the physical labor of felling a tree in the Vosges forest. Munnings, primarily known for his equestrian subjects, here demonstrates a masterful handle on light and atmosphere, using bold, impressionistic strokes to render the contrast between the dark depths of the forest and the brilliant sunlight striking the bark and figures.
