– The Monumentality of the Forest –
In contrast to French Impressionism, which used a very similar brushwork technique, Wilhelm Feldmann models a forest landscape with impasto brushstrokes dominated by dark tones. The treetops form a green-black wall in the background, but the light blue sky breaks through. Light is also falling into the forest from above, while the meadow where we are walking is interspersed with bright patches of light. Because of the dark colors, the sunlight is able to shine particularly brightly. The resulting contrast between light and dark makes the gloomy tree we are approaching look like a heroic natural monument, merging with the other trees to form a rug of color that dominates the picture.
with this painting, Wilhelm Feldmann proved to be a master student of Eugen Bracht, with whom he had studied in Berlin.
