About the piece
Painted in 1911, this work by French Modernist Roger de La Fresnaye captures the landscape of Meulan with an emerging Cubist sensibility. The artist breaks down the village architecture and rolling hills into simplified, interlocking geometric planes, unified by a moody and atmospheric sky.
