About the piece
Created in 1878, 'Fen in the Kempen' is a masterful example of Alphonse Asselbergs' ability to capture the brooding beauty of the Belgian countryside. The composition features a cluster of dark trees silhouetted against a luminous ochre sky, with the stillness of the marsh water creating soft, mirrored reflections that anchor the scene in a sense of timeless quiet.
