Original Description
Closing Autumn by Willard Leroy Metcalf captures the serene beauty of a New England landscape in the transitional embrace of fall. Painted in 1911, this oil on canvas masterpiece exemplifies Metcalf’s mature Impressionist style, blending loose brushwork with a luminous, atmospheric quality. The scene depicts a quiet countryside bathed in golden afternoon light, where trees shed their amber leaves and the distant hills fade into a haze of soft violets and blues. As a leading figure of the Cos Cob Art Colony and an influential American Impressionist, Metcalf’s work celebrates the ephemeral beauty of nature while reflecting his academic training under Gustave Boulanger. Closing Autumn stands as a testament to his ability to evoke mood through light and color, bridging European Impressionism with a distinctly American sensibility.
For interiors, this painting’s warm ochres, deep greens, and muted violets make it ideal for spaces seeking earthy elegance. Place it in a study or living room with rustic wood furnishings and linen textiles to enhance its organic charm. The 25 x 30-inch size suits medium-sized walls, ideally above a console or sofa. Pair it with muted brass accents or terracotta ceramics to echo its autumnal palette, or contrast it with charcoal-gray walls for dramatic tension. In offices, it fosters calm focus—hang it opposite a window to harmonize with natural light. A gilt frame would accentuate its golden tones, while a simple walnut frame would underscore its naturalistic grace.
