Famous landscape paintings have been recreated without
trees by an Edinburgh University scientist to draw attention to the value of
woods and forests.
Dr Iain
Woodhouse removed trees from Constable's The Haywain, Seurat's Sunday afternoon
on the Island of Grande Jatte, and Van Gogh's Olive Trees with Yellow Sky and
Sun.
He hopes his
work will highlight the threat of global deforestation.
He said:
"It is crucial that trees do not disappear from our landscapes."
Dr Woodhouse,
an expert in the satellite mapping of forests, used photo-editing software to
erase the trees from the famous works.
He added:
"Trees are a vital global resource, providing fuel, shelter, clean water
and food for many species including people, and helping to maintain a healthy
atmosphere by harvesting carbon dioxide."
