| Keywords: outdoor sky tree plant Meyndert Hobbema (Dutch, Amsterdam 1638-1709 Amsterdam) Woodland Road ca. 1670 Oil on canvas In many of the artist's earlier works (like the one in Gallery 634), pathways and picturesque passages invite the eye to wander. Here the effect is different: a deep foreground and the graceful massing of foliage and clouds encourage viewing from a distance. Hobbema's technique has evolved accordingly, as seen especially in the painterly screen of trees with its various colors and textures. Bequest of Mary Stillman Harkness, 1950 50.145.22 Photo taken at the Met, Jan 2016 www.metmuseum.org/collection/the-collection-online/search...
