The Best Landscape Paintings to Greet Autumn

Now that summer is officially over, looking through the window in many places is all about rain and clouds. To inspire us with the more beautiful aspects of the season, why not remind ourselves of some great pieces of art that depict colorful leaves and the sun shining through them? Here are some of the best landscape paintings to greet autumn.

1. Camille Pissaro, Hyde Park

With amazing color accuracy, Hyde Park in London, UK, has never looked more beautiful. Camille Pissaro, the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painter, understood how to present nature in its full glory without making it mundane.

2. Alfred Sisley, The Small Meadows in Spring

The way this artist captured nature was unbelievably beautiful! Sisley valued his close friendship with Claude Monet, and it is not difficult to see the effects of it—over time their works became quite similar to each other. This painting beautifully presents what Sisley celebrated most in his en plein air works—the consistency of colors.

3. Claude Monet, Path on the Island of Saint Martin

Our selection of the best landscape paintings for autumn could not be complete without the great landscape painter Claude Monet and his depiction of the French countryside. As we all know, Monet’s landscapes are exemplary and it would be near impossible to improve on his use of colors and soft brushes. This painting simply proves it!

4. J. M. W. Turner, The Fountain of Indolence

The English painter Joseph Mallord William Turner may have been eccentric, but his talent in presenting the wonders of nature through his masterful watercolors and oils helped to elevate the genre of landscape painting to its proper place. In fact, his landscapes are truly breathtaking. Looking at the Fountain of Indolence, we really can begin to like autumn more.
