Félix Vallotton, a Swiss-Francés artist and a prominent member of the Nabis movement, gives us in "The flourishing field" (1912) a representation that encapsulates its mastery in the use of color and its ability to imbute landscapes with an almost theatrical quality. This work, a visual ode to the splendor of nature, exhibits the sensitivity and precision that characterize Vallotton's work.

Covered mostly by a mantle of red flowers, the field itself seems to vibrate with the intensity of life and color. The choice of red is not random; This hue, which stands out in the vast space of the painting, imbues the scene of a powerful energy that instantly captures the viewer's vision. Contrasting with the vibrant red, there are areas of green in the background and blue in the sky, creating a chromatic balance and referring to a sensation of calm after the intensity of the frontal tones.
There is no presence of human figures in the scene, an element that gives the landscape a primary and almost sacred character. Vallotton's flourishing field evokes an intocated nature, where cosmological beauty and serenity prevail. The absence of humans could be interpreted as a statement on the purity and autonomy of nature against human intervention, underlining contemplation and respectful admiration of the natural environment.

While use wide flat color surfaces, the texture of foliage and terrain is implicitly detailed, evoking a touch sensation that invites you to imagine the soft balancing of the flowers and the leaf of the grass under the feet.
