Cagnes Landscape in Stormy Weather 1917 — Fine Art

Henri Matisse painted Cagnes Landscape in Stormy Weather 1917 as a view of a hillside under a heavy sky. The scene uses broad colour areas and quick brushwork, the way he painted the French countryside in his later years. The sky reads dark and the land is broken into simple planes.

This comes as a fine art print on matte paper, ready to hang with a metal hanger fitted to the back. The matte surface keeps the stormy tones soft, so the dark sky does not look glossy under a light.

Hang it on a wall by a window, where daylight hits the paper at an angle. From across the room the broad sky and land read as big shapes, and up close the small brush marks become visible.
