Description:
A tranquil landscape rendered in warm pastel hues, this composition by Karl Wagner captures the soft glow of a sunset over an expansive countryside. The vast open field, punctuated by clusters of trees with lush foliage, creates a sense of depth and serenity. Above, the sky stretches endlessly, adorned with delicate white clouds tinged with magenta, evoking the fleeting beauty of twilight.

Wagner’s expressive brushwork and nuanced color palette imbue the scene with atmospheric depth, while his handling of light and shadow conveys a moment of quiet transition between day and night. The work stands as a testament to his skill in capturing the emotive power of nature, making it a captivating addition to any collection.
