{"product_id":"october-willard-metcalf","title":"October - Willard Metcalf","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic American Impressionist painting by Willard Metcalf, capturing the warm tones and dappled light of an autumn day in New England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWillard Metcalf painted October in 1906, a period when he shifted his focus toward the rural scenery of New England. This work captures the specific light and colour of the autumn season, rendered with the broken brushwork characteristic of the American Impressionist movement. The composition features a white farmhouse partially obscured by two prominent trees, one displaying deep crimson foliage and the other a bright, golden yellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetcalf employs a palette that balances the warmth of the changing leaves against the cooler shadows cast upon the building and the ground. The foreground is scattered with fallen leaves, creating a textured surface that leads the eye toward the structure. His approach to light is observational, recording the way sunlight filters through the canopy to create dappled patterns on the white walls of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the more radical experiments of his European contemporaries, Metcalf maintained a degree of structural clarity in his work. He retained a sense of form while using the loose, painterly application of pigment to convey the atmosphere of a crisp October day. The scene reflects his interest in the quiet, unpretentious beauty of the American countryside, a subject he returned to frequently throughout his career. By focusing on the interplay of seasonal colour and natural light, Metcalf provides a direct observation of the environment, avoiding excessive sentimentality in favour of a clear, painterly record of the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/wayside-inn-childe-hassam\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWayside Inn by Childe Hassam\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/deserted-wharf-the-old-mill-at-cos-cob-john-henry-twachtman\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDeserted Wharf (The Old Mill at Cos Cob) by John Henry Twachtman\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/collections\/willard-metcalf\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWillard Metcalf prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Willard Metcalf","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59461827068239,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59461833851215,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59461833883983,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59461833916751,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59461833949519,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59461833982287,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59461834015055,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59461834047823,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59461834080591,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59461834113359,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59461834146127,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59461834178895,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/October_Poster_CompositorV1_1792112615414.jpg?v=1794356391","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/october-willard-metcalf","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
