La Prairie (1880) by Pierre-Auguste Renoir

However, if we look closely, we'll notice a woman with a child as they're walking through the field. We often have to look at all of Renoir's works to deepen our understanding of what he is trying to tell us beyond the money and beautiful layers of color.

Garden (1935) by Pierre Bonnard
Bonnard could mix the impressionist style of art with modern, like a few others, so when he portrayed a classical subject like a garden, he did so with solid and radiating colors with his own playful and careless approach that resulted in magnificently beautiful works.

Landscape with Stars (1905) by Henri-Edmond Cross
When looking at this print and admiring the stars that accompany the landscape, it almost looks like a field of flowers bathed with daffodils, and this is because of the style of pointillism that Cross used where he painted thousands of tiny dots instead of brushstrokes to create an optical illusion for the viewer.
6. Bathers at Asnières (1883) by Georges Seurat
Bathers at Asnières (1883) by Georges Seurat
As the saying goes, the first one out the door gets shot. Luckily Seurat was not shot, but he was the first to develop pointillism and post-impressionism, so when he presented Bathers at Asnières for the jury in Paris, it was brutally shot down.
Despite only being 24 when painting it, Seurat showed extreme maturity and continued to work on his craft and develop his skills. Today the painting is hanging in the National Gallery in London and is celebrated as one of the most essential works in the gallery.

Before the Race (1887) by Edgar Degas
When asked why he loved painting ballerinas, Degas answered ''My chief interest lies in rendering movements and painting pretty clothes.'' Degas discovered that these criteria could be met with horses as well.
After discovering his love for horses, he started studying them at an anatomical level to understand the workings of horses fully. This obsession led him to create over 45 oil paintings, 20 pastel paintings, 250 drawings, and 17 sculptures of horses however, before the Race is our favorite of all these different works!

Farmhouse in Upper Austria (1912) by Gustav Klimt
Most of Klimt's landscape paintings are of the Austrian countryside, which is not coincidental. He notoriously hated traveling outside Austria and always wanted to stay in the country. As he got closer to the border on his way to leave Austria, he would be hit with homesickness and anxiety, but when he would return, he would gladly sing, "The wind is blowing briskly toward my homeland."

Huntingdon Valley (1915) by Henry Lyman Saÿan
When Saÿen returned to the US from Paris for the first world war, he could leave the army for the weekends, and he spent these weekends with his friend Carl Newman, who was also an artist. Newman had a home in Huntingdon Valley which allowed Saÿen to paint the landscape, and we have that friendship to thank for this lovely art!

Winter Landscape in Moonlight (1919) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
By 29, Kirchner had left his native Germany for Davos in Switzerland to focus on developing the expressionist art style. Living in Switzerland allowed Kirchner to explore landscapes and natural surroundings different from those he grew up with. The change of scenery and the moonlight over the Swiss landscapes sparked Kirchner's creativity and will to produce.
12. The Starry Night (1889) by Vincent van Gogh
The Starry Night (1889) by Vincent van Gogh
Few people need an introduction to van Gogh's Starry Night as it's one of the most recognized and celebrated artworks. However, we wouldn't do our job well if we didn't tell you a little about the work.
He painted it from his asylum window just as the sun was about to go up when the stars were shining into his window, but from his other paintings that were made with the view from his asylum window, we know that there wasn't a village close to them, but there where Wheatfield's, so the village in questions is just another proof of van Gogh's brilliant imagination and creative ability.
