Brief Description
A multi-panel artwork depicts a vast mountainous landscape with small figures, trees, and structures
Detailed Description
This horizontal artwork, composed of twelve vertical panels, presents a panoramic landscape in light brown, various greens, and subtle blues. The expansive scene is dominated by rolling mountains and hills, densely covered with trees, extending across the entire width of the artwork. Numerous small human figures, depicted in groups and individually, populate the landscape. On the left, the foreground features a large gathering of figures at the base of a mountain, with more figures scattered along paths and open areas. The mountains rise steeply, their surfaces textured with brushstrokes suggesting rock and foliage. To the right, the landscape unfolds to reveal several architectural structures. In the central panels, a prominent multi-story building with a dark, tiled roof and light-colored walls stands on an elevated platform, surrounded by groups of people. Nearby, a bridge spans a gap, connecting different parts of the terrain. Further to the right, another building with a red-orange base and a dark roof is partially visible, nestled among the hills. Throughout the composition, clusters of trees, often resembling pines, punctuate the hillsides. The background consistently features distant, lighter-toned mountains, creating a sense of depth. The sky is a uniform, light beige, devoid of clouds or other features.
