This vibrant autumn landscape, "October, Mont Bleu" by Henri Masson, captures the breathtaking transformation of nature in mid-fall. The painting bursts with bold, expressive brushstrokes in fiery oranges, rich reds, and brilliant yellows, representing trees at the peak of their autumn splendour. Against a soft lavender sky, the dark skeletal form of a bare tree stands in striking contrast, symbolizing the transition toward winter. The foreground, with its warm earth tones and textured grasses, draws the viewer into the scene, evoking the crispness of October air. Masson’s energetic style conveys both movement and emotion, celebrating the fleeting beauty of autumn in the Canadian landscape.
