Further details

Degas utilisait le monotype depuis 1876 pour représenter des intérieurs de théâtre et de maisons closes, mais rarement des paysages. Ce petit monotype fait partie d'un petit groupe de paysages atmosphériques qu'il a exécutés vers 1878-80. Représentant un petit arbuste ou un arbre sur une colline balayée par le vent et dont la silhouette se découpe sur un ciel orageux, le sujet rappelle le chef-d'œuvre gravé de Rembrandt, Les trois arbres, 1643. Probablement recréé de mémoire dans l'atelier, l'immédiateté de la technique de Degas est très évidente dans ce magnifique monotype, les marques énergiques du chiffon donnant une impression de turbulence climatique.

Degas had employed the monotype technique since 1876 to depict theatre and brothel interiors but rarely landscapes. This small monotype is one of a small group of atmospheric landscapes which he executed circa 1878-80. Depicting a small shrub or tree on a windswept hillside silhouetted against a stormy sky, the subject is redolent of Rembrandt's etched masterpiece The Three Trees, 1643. Probably recreated from memory in the studio, the immediacy of Degas technique is evident in this beautiful monotype, with the energetic wiped marks of the rag conveying a sense of climactic turbulence.
