Hill with a view of the church 55.5×76cm Michel Rodo Lithograph 257/300

This painting captures an idyllic landscape painted in warm, soft tones.

The viewpoint is high and offers a panoramic view of the village.

In the distance, a church tower can be seen jutting into the sky. The surrounding mountains and lush green trees give the impression of life. In the foreground, the earth stretches out, dotted with dead trees, telling of the passage of time and the harshness of nature. The sky is a clear blue, with large clouds rolling by lazily.

This landscape is a work that evokes a sense of tranquility that makes you forget the passage of time and the lives of people living in harmony with nature.
