After Heade–Moonlit Landscape by Edouard Duval-Carrié is an artwork made of mixed media on aluminum. Made in 2013, it measures ninety-six by one hundred and forty-four inches, which equals eight feet tall by twelve feet wide. It is displayed in landscape orientation, meaning that its longest side runs parallel to the floor. This artwork displays a human figure centered in the middle of a lush tropical landscape, painted mostly in blue, green, and black. Unlike a traditional painting on canvas, which has a pale cream background, this painting is dominated by black as the underlying hue. Every element of this composition, from the outline of the human figure, the leaves of the palm fronds and shrubs, even the clouds in the sky, are etched in glittery silver onto the black aluminum background. Starting in the center, the human figure stands on a cleared path in what looks like a tropical jungle. The upper half of the human figure is covered in an intricate pattern of concentric circles and rosettes. This pattern fills their torso and arms. The figure‘s lower abdomen and legs feature a sparser covering of glittery silver, exposing more of the black base color. The figure bears no face and stands with his palms facing outward toward the viewer. Behind the patterned figure is a horizon in the distance that divides the aquamarine teal of the sea from the cobalt blue of the sky. To the left of the figure, covering the leftmost quarter of the artwork, is a dense jungle of foliage, palm trees, and tropical vegetation. The jungle forms a thick column of silver glitter against the deep black of the base color. Again, these natural features look otherworldly and alien rendered in silver and black. On the righthand side of the artwork, the jungle rises diagonally, starting behind the figure, and rising gradually to the upper right corner of the large artwork. This allows for the right side of the artwork to showcase a landmass resting on the horizon in the distance to the right of the figure’s shoulder and neck.
