Post-impressionist-style Oil Painting On Panel Depicting A Landscape At Sunset

A beautiful Impressionist-style painting depicting a rural landscape at dusk.
This oil painting features a lovely nature scene with vibrant shades of pink, purple, and orange, bathed in the light of the setting sun.
The composition of the work is based on several key elements:
A textured sky: The use of a palette knife or thick brush is particularly visible in the clouds, capturing the last reflections of sunlight.
The red sun: Positioned near the horizon, it forms the central focal point of the painting.
Wild vegetation: The silhouette of the tree on the left, with its more sharply defined contours and details, is the only element that gives structure to the landscape; it is what instantly lends depth to the entire scene.
The foreground is bathed in the twilight of the late afternoon; the artist uses deep purples, midnight blues, and sharp outlines; his palette is dominated by touches of green and earth tones; muted greens are used to render the shadows, thus avoiding the use of pure black—an approach typical of plein air painters designed to preserve the transparency of the shadows.
The farther the eye travels toward the horizon, the more the forms lose their sharpness and blend into a violet haze.
