"Hill at Giverny" is an oil on canvas painting made in 1915 by Frederick Carl Frieseke. The work is signed in the lower left, "F.C. Frieseke". The framed sized is 36 x 42 x 4 1/8 inches. Frieseke trained at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Académie Julian. He worked in the style known as Decorative Impressionism, known for very bright colors, rough brushstrokes, and lack of shadows, as seen in the work. Frieseke exhibited his work in 1910 at Madison Gallery in New York alongside Guy Rose, Richard Edward Miller, Lawton S. Parker, Edward W. Greacen, and Karl Anderson, where they were termed "The Giverny Group." From 1906 to 1919, Frieseke spent summers in an artist colony in Giverny. There, he was next-door neighbors with Claude Monet and his house had been previously owned by Theodore Robinson. Giverny landscape and gardens were a prominent subject matter for Frieseke at this point in his career. His works often concentrated on the various effects of dappled sunlight playing upon his beautiful, natural surroundings. Frieseke is featured in the collections of major museums such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., Dallas Museum of Art, and Art Institute of Chicago.
