French Impressionist artist Emil Rampelberg is not afraid of using vibrant color in his paintings. This countryside scene of rolling hills and verdant fields might have been depicted by a different artist with the same colors occurring in nature - greens and blues. Rampelberg instead insists on alien hues of purple, yellow, and pink, with only a single tree in green to tie in the composition as a landscape rather than an abstract. This mesmerizing watercolor painting is signed in the lower left and nicely framed in gold. Provenance: Galerie Felix Vercel, New York.
