Jan Verkade's 1891 painting "Landscape" shows an abstract landscape with a combination of natural and architectural elements. The painting is composed of different planes and colours, with the dominant colours being green, yellow and orange.
In the foreground, three long, slender trees can be seen reaching upwards. Behind the trees, a yellow building with a dark blue roof is visible. Around the building, orange and red trees or bushes can be seen.
The style of the painting is typical of the symbolist movement, which emphasises the use of colour and form to convey an emotional or spiritual experience. The painting is interesting because of the way Verkade combines and abstracts nature and architecture, evoking a sense of mystery and serenity.
