About the piece
Painted in 1873 by Louis-Augustin Auguin, this masterly landscape depicts the 'Great Woods of Fenioux' in the Saintonge region of France. The composition uses dramatic contrast, setting deep, cool shadows of foreground oaks against a warm, glowing horizon to evoke a sense of tranquil, old-world seclusion.
