Original Description
The Hillside by William Jurian Kaula (1871-1953) transports viewers to a tranquil New England landscape bathed in golden afternoon light. This post-impressionist gem, created during Kaula's mature period, showcases his signature brushwork—confident strokes of rich pigment that build texture while maintaining luminous color harmony. The composition balances naturalism with subtle abstraction, typical of the Boston School's approach where Kaula studied under Edmund Tarbell. Rolling hills dotted with vibrant autumn foliage recede toward a serene horizon, while dynamic cloud formations animate the sky. Though less famous than his coastal scenes, this work exemplifies Kaula's masterful handling of transitional light and rural poetry. It occupies an important niche in early 20th-century American landscape painting, bridging Impressionist spontaneity with more structured modernist tendencies emerging at the time.
For interior decoration, this 24x30 inch landscape offers versatile styling potential. In a study or home office, frame it in a slender gold-leaf molding to complement its warm palette while maintaining professional elegance. The painting's organic curves balance contemporary angular furniture beautifully—hang it opposite large windows to create a dialogue between painted and real landscapes. For color coordination, pull earthy tones from its ochre and burnt sienna passages into textiles or accessories. In spacious rooms, its moderate size reads as an intimate focal point when hung at 57-60 inches from floor to center. Consider pairing with Mission-style oak furnishings that echo its rustic yet refined New England character, or contrast with sleek mid-century pieces for an eclectic aesthetic. The work's calming energy makes it ideal for meditation spaces or bedrooms, while its sophisticated execution suits executive offices equally well.
