About the piece

Painted in 1913, 'The Ravine' is a striking example of Rik Wouters' ability to merge Impressionist observation with the bold color theory of Fauvism. The work uses a palette of warm ochres, deep oranges, and cool teals to define the vertical rhythm of the woodland and the steep depth of the landscape, creating a vibrant and immersive natural scene.
