Post-Impressionism

Orpheus, by Odilon Redon, c. 1903–10
Painting of a basket of green and red-yellow apples spilling over into a white cloth placed on a wooden table, with a dark green bottle and a plate of pale biscuits behind.
The image shows two women walking arm in arm, both in traditional attire. One woman is facing away with a slight profile, while the other is seen from the side. Their faces are stylized and simplistic with covered hair. They wear long dresses with aprons and collars, and one has a striped apron. Haystacks and greenery surround them. Faint figures are in the background, as well as a spire-like structure. A dog is seen near the haystack, with simple lines suggesting a landscape.
Heavy daubs of pigment form a crowded scene of roughly defined, finely dressed individuals in a brightly color park along a riverbank.
Landscape with Wheelbarrow, by Vincent van Gogh, 1883
Ia Orana Maria (Hail Mary), by Paul Gauguin, 1891
André Bénac, by Édouard Vuillard, 1936
A work made of oil on linen canvas.
