"Landscape with Cottages" by Vincent van Gogh exemplifies his Post-impressionism style, showcasing his mastery in capturing rural scenes with bold colors and dramatic brushwork. The painting depicts a serene countryside featuring quaint cottages nestled among lush greenery. Van Gogh often used pencil to create initial sketches and studies before developing his vivid oil paintings.
