About the piece
Painted in 1853 by Czech artist Bedřich Havránek, this work captures the majestic presence of ancient oaks in the forest of Choltice. The composition emphasizes the intricate, twisted forms of the branches and the play of light through the canopy, reflecting a mid-century European fascination with the untamed beauty of the natural world.
