Autumn Landscape
Cornelius Krieghoff · 1858
Why it's great
A forest is ablaze with red, orange and gold leaves beside a calm stream. Cornelius Krieghoff painted the glorious color of Canadian autumn, which became a favorite subject. The warm colors make the picture glow. It's a good example of his love of the Canadian landscape.
