About the piece

Painted in 1901, this work captures a transitional moment in Henri Matisse's career as he explored the expressive potential of bold color and vigorous brushwork. Two towering copper beech trees dominate the composition, their deep red and purple tones providing a dramatic contrast to the bright green grass and scattered yellow flowers in the foreground.
