Felled Tree, Normandy
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative charcoal and crayon drawing by the renowned French artist Georges Lacombe, created in 1898. This masterpiece, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., transports us back to the 19th century and invites us to explore the beauty and power of nature. The drawing depicts a solitary tree, its massive trunk and gnarled branches lying prostrate on the forest floor. The tree, once a proud sentinel of the Normandy countryside, now lies felled, a testament to the inexorable passage of time and the forces of nature. The artist's expert use of charcoal and crayon imbues the tree with a sense of depth and texture, bringing its rough bark and intricate branches to life. The drawing's setting, with its lush foliage and vibrant colors, speaks to the rich heritage of the French countryside. The red brown and yellow crayon used to add detail and depth to the leaves and undergrowth adds a sense of warmth and vitality to the scene. The exterior scene is rendered with a keen sense of observation and an appreciation for the natural world. Lacombe's "Felled Tree, Normandy" is a poignant reminder of the cyclical nature of life and the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places. The drawing invites us to pause and reflect on the natural world, and to appreciate the simple pleasures of the outdoors. Whether viewed in person at the National Gallery of Art or as a print in an art centre or gallery, this drawing continues to captivate and inspire viewers over a century after it was created.
